Is Fort Myers full of crazies?

I heard about this on CNN today. Is this town full of right wing crazies or something? I think what they did is totally outrageous and unfair.

Welcome to the world of "Political Correctness" where having common sense is not allowed.

I would spectualate that a few jealous wives had a hand in it!

It's ridiculous and a bad case of prejudgement. I think the private life of an employee isn't a town government's business at all.
If that town manager's work had suffered from the marriage, maybe it would have been justified, but that apparently didn't happen.

After my own experience at the Detroit Airport (see Travel thread) it doesn't come as a too big surprise to me, though.

But I don't want to start a political morality thread. If I wanted to do that I'd throw in the name Berlusconi, but I don't.

What's wrong with people these days, we constantly someone fired in modern business because of who they marry, or something stupid like that. If someone does something like that in their personal life, or if they drive the company vehicle to a strip club, employers should really question, is this actually going to cause me money. If a plumber has a call to fix the sink at the strip club, he'll go down there in the company vehicle, and fix the sink, and get paid. If he goes down there after work for any reason, he'll get fired. That employer really needs to question, 1) will this cost me any money, and 2) will the people who see his face down there even remember him on duty, when he was there without the company vehicle? If I see the company vehicle there I would assume he is there to fix the sink, WHY WOULD HE GO THERE TO GET A BLOWJOB ON DUTY? IT MAKES NO SENSE? I'm an advocate for right to work, but employers need to realize that firing someone for no good reason gets you nowhere. That really pisses me off.
