Ariz. bill says unlawful to 'annoy' others online Free speech advocates and social media users say an anti-stalking proposal in Arizona goes too far by criminalizing "annoying" or "offensive" comments posted online. A bi-partisan bill seeking to update telephone harassment and stalking laws by adding the use of computers or smartphones to existing legislation has gone virtually unchallenged in the Legislature and could soon land on Gov.

Isn't this just common sense? [King5] "Amazon.com warehouse workers fired if goals aren't met"
Amazon might be on to something by firing people who don't perform. I personally love it; however, at the same time I see the fear people might have. If every organization did this, we would end up with half as many teachers, we'd have to fire most of our elected officials and we'd lose at least 3/4 of the State Employees. We could always just throw the underperforming employees into a "Hunger Games" like battle with the last one standing keeping their job. Someone make that movie, I'd watch it.
