Mr. Mills: I do not wish to belabor a point covered in another post, but an employer can legally fire an employee for engaging in pedophilia, an illegal activity. In may states, sodomy is also an illegal act. (NOTE: I am making NO connection, whatsoever, between pedophilia and sodomy, other than that they are both illegal acts in many states). This gives a very real precedence for such personnel actions. You might want to first try to change the laws that make some of your activities illegal before climbing too high on a soapbox. Oh, and, Good Luck! Dale Anderson Boulder, Colorado dalea@ix.netcom.com
