Why America is failing

A comment on the editorial by The Olympian's Publisher...

The Comments section is NOT "Letter's to the Editor"
The Comments section enables a person to write and inform others without restraint from prying eyes which may cause harm to the person stating comments...such as employers who may base their opinion on what is found online about the person verses how the person performs in reality. A person can be very different from the person that they present to others, than how they are in private.I will no longer visit this site if you do this, as I will no longer feel comfortable stating comments which could be viewed by anyone and may be mis-understood. Can't take that chance.

This is a great example of the cowardice that permeates the United States. There is no legal right for an employer to have any say on what your political opinion is outside your place of employment, but since union representation has been reduced, employers intimidate and violation their employees at will. The above comment reeks of a person who has to be one mindset at work and is another in real life. Personally, I cannot do such a thing.

It's a real shame that "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" has been reduced to lackeys that kiss ass.
