Like the jocks and stars who are on drugs or do illegal things and we just smile and give them a little tap on the hand and then wonder why the young of America think everyone owe them a living.rainydaytoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407431018319244763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793841573292945810.post-17511336276427481812009-08-29T20:54:22.098-07:002009-08-29T20:54:22.098-07:00Few corrections: Apparently there was no entourage...Few corrections: Apparently there was no entourage, just the actress who on the first visit skipped out on the bill, then the agent came days later to pay the amount on the bill and stiffed the tip, then the "screaming drama queen and my friend getting fired" incident.<br /><br />You know, so often I hear stories of this sort of thing happening to someone, but really this is to the point of absurdity and cruelty. I could see if someone was badmouthing their employer online and trying to drive away customers. But clearly nothing at all like that was going on here.<br />I wonder if it should matter as much as it does. I wonder if what we say in the public forum in our off-time, provided we aren't trashing our employer, should have any bearing on our employment. I think that it ought not. <br />Along with that, yes, I think we do become highly visible when we get online. It's like speaking in a very crowded town square. But along with the dangers there is power and responsibility that comes with that power. <br /><br />Thanks, the support I've seen rallying around my friend has been very heartening.Paul Mathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951893912611871578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793841573292945810.post-83872750565086602892009-08-29T17:51:35.855-07:002009-08-29T17:51:35.855-07:00Placing oneself online makes one visible.

Therefore I am careful who and what I write about which makes it difficult for sometimes you WANT to write about those whom you would hope never find you online. Caution and precaution is my general motto. (Are they the same????)<br />P.S. Very, very sorry to hear about your friend's loss of job. And I snub my nose at the insensitive people who laid him off. I'd turn off HBO but we don't subscribe and I'd boycott Barney's except I don't have a clue as to what they even sell.WhiteStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345496310218224780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793841573292945810.post-78827574395662745032009-08-29T16:48:31.963-07:002009-08-29T16:48:31.963-07:00Sounds as if this Jane Adams is just trash.

Yeah, I agree about HBO, Barney's, etc. We much prefer to make better use of our resources than to pour them down the swirly or to make toilets of our own eyes and ears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
