Attack of the Smoke Nazis

Over the last couple of days, FoxNews has been talking about the company in Michigan that will fire anyone caught smoking - anytime, anywhere. As you can see by this, it’s really old news, but I have some serious reservations about this.

Weyco Corp. says that their reason for firing anyone who smokes - even at home - is because of their "wellness" programs and their desire to lower their health insurance costs.

Bull. Shit.

Forget for the moment that smokers make up the last minority in this country that are not only discriminated against, but are outright vilified with the government’s blessing.

If this company is really serious about it’s "wellness" program, they would:
- Fire workers owning or riding on motorcycles.
- Fire anyone owning a red car (they have more accidents).
- Fire any worker who sky dives.
- Fire any worker who has unprotected sex - with anyone - even if they want to have children.
- Fire any worker who participates in any "extreme sport".
- Fire any worker who races - on foot, on bicycle, or autos (motorcycles are already covered, right?)
- Fire any worker who attends bicycle or motorized races as spectators, as equipment can go into the stands.
- Fire any worker with a chronic injury or sickness that requires long-term care.

This is not a comprehensive list - I’m sure the insurance companies have tables showing what physical or genetic disabilities will cause the biggest drain on their insurance claims.

Or is it just about fucking over the smokers again? The "Rights of the Minority"? Kiss my wrinkled old hairy ass.

These asses talk about how people ‘choose’ to smoke. I ‘chose’ to smoke over 40 years ago. There ain’t been any f’kin choice involved in it ever since.
