Disgusted…

This following entry fucking disgusts me:

If you read it you will find that PepBoys (a car parts chain down in the United States) seems to be firing its employees if they happen to be Reservists and called up to active duty. Sure, they deny it. The courts are set to be the ultimate judge. I’m not sure why exactly this bothers me so much. Up here in Canada we don’t even have any federal laws that guarantee job security. Maybe that’s why our military is so pathetic. Regardless, for the maybe one or so persons from the US that visit this site, please don’t shop at PepBoys. Even if you don’t support the current war (which is fine), think about it. This really has nothing to do with the war; this has to do with individual people’s lives and livelyhood. All these poor folks did was volunteer to step up and defend their country in a time of need. They don’t get to say, “Oh I don’t think invading Iraq is a good idea, mind if I sit this one out?” They go. And some die.
