It's finally happened. Corporations are now confiscating employees'
personal machines IN THEIR HOMES!

Try to suppress your gag reflex. I wrote a letter to NW Air expressing
my...dissatisfaction.

I'm sure people on here will be pleased with the line:

	"Business speech is not subject to the same protections as
	political speech," said John Roberts, a Minneapolis attorney who
	specializes in cyberlaw. "You can't say whatever you want about a
	company."

I wonder when the Constitution was amended from "all speech" to
"political speech only."
