"You recall the FCC fining Clear Channel Communications for Howard Stern's broadcast. Clear Channel did not take it to court and was willing to cut Howard from it's stations. Why? Money. Think of the lawyer costs to this corporation."

Wrong. Clear Channel wasn't fined for Howard's free speech. It was fined for misuse of the public airwaves, which they were licensed to use. If Howard wants to sit in his office and say anything he wants, I have no problem with that. But if he wants to use the radio bandwidth that Clear Channel is authorized to use, and breaks the rules, they are in violation of the agreement they made when they obtained their license.


"A Pizza Hut delivery driver was fired for defending himself from a robber. We all know that we would lose our jobs if we carried a weapon to work and used it in the same fashion. Why? Money. Think of the Workman's Compensation rates the employer would have to dish out."

Wrong again. The driver wasn't fired for defending himself, he was fired for violating the company rules he agreed to when he took the job. What company could stay in business if it couldn't punish employees that violated established company policies??


"Let's look at one more scenario. The government allows employers to use hours-for-dollars wage slavery. In this system, a company may obtain more production (labor) from it's workers for free."

Again, wrong. The government allows employers to offer jobs to workers for hourly wages and benefits. No worker is ever forced to either take, or stay with a job he isn't satisfied with. Unions routinely deal with this particular problem, usually pretty well.
