    Re: Workplaces ban not only smoking, but smokers themselves

    As a banker, I can understand why employers don't want to hire smokers, drinkers, the overweight, the weekend warriors and for that matter, women of child bearing age....because each member of those groups cost the company more money and let's be honest....someone has to look after the bottom line. However, as a human being, I would never support a company refusing to hire smokers...just like I would never support a company refusing to hire any of the other above groups. Even bankers have to realize sometimes there are some things more important than money.


    America is an idea, but it's an idea that brings with it some baggage, like power brings responsibility. It's an idea that brings with it equality, but equality even though it's the highest calling, is the hardest to reach. The idea that anything is possible, that's one of the reasons why I'm a fan of America. - Bono, Commencement University of Pennsylvania May 17, 2004
