It takes balls to stand up for what you believe in, even if it could cost you your income.

Doing it twice in 12 months takes even more sack.

My hats off to you sir...

Had I wealth and enemies, I would without hesitation spend of the one to hire you to deal with the other.

I have neither, so all I can send are my best wishes for better fortune.

Well I could say you needed to be more discreet but that would be the pot calling the Kettle black kinda thing.
I know that the best revenge is living well, and what the philosophers, and my religion has to say about it, but when I'm feeling grumpy I think about a few individuals I like to read about in the papers being arrested for their large collection of child porn. Their is one individual from 23 years ago that I dream of seeing through cross hairs sometime. Do those nasty thoughts ever cross your mind.

Heh... just think... I get to carry for work every day. I have an M240 in my lap right now. Needed to clean the barrel locking lugs a bit so the op rod would line up.

Ah, how I suffer.

Sorry to hear about the job situation. I have been fired/laid-off a few times in the past and in retrospect it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Each job was better with more pay. Current job is great. Boss is conservative and pro-gun. I took the NRA pistol class that I needed to get my CCW from a co-worker.

Hope everything turns out alright.

Get out of AZ ... if an employer did that in MT or WY, he wouldn't be able to keep employees.

Standing up for what you believe is more important than a paycheck. Have you considered going into business for yourself, being competition for your previous employer? The good thing about having a blog is that you can write down your thoughts, review them and improve upon those thoughts until the path becomes crystal clear. May you find the path that works for you.

No good deed goes unpunished, I guess. It's a sad pass when even the private sector has problems with someone who merely wishes to live free.

Hope the wisdom teeth come out all right, if you'll pardon the pun.

Didn't you tell them about the Fatwa?
