What I have a bigger problem with is that he was a bigot and talking about it in the privacy of his home and someone recorded it without his permission and transmitted it to the world....the problem I have is my own privacy and not his. I also do not work a multi-billion dollar corporation with hundreds of employees. He's a sad little man and sad little men have the right to be wealthy idiot bigots in the privacy of their own home. BUT as others have said, he owns a business and it just wasn't meant to be. It can break wiretap laws in every direction, but in private business, the consequences are what they are. |

Your correct. You can't just outlaw stupid or protect it from itself with laws. You can however discriminate against stupidity and maintain separation. That is usually covered by the CoBC. The NFL calls it protecting the shield. |
