Let us rise for a moment of silence for the memory of the job of this woman who entered internet immortality on the 30th of October this year when she rode past a Presidential motorcade and let her finger to the talking. When she realized she had been photographed and talked about (with no name associated) she conscienciously took the information to her Human Resources department and, on the next day, they canned her.

This put me in mind of a co-worker, a young fellow, who showed me how, when he had a selfie with the newly elected Governor of the State of Alaska, could not resist making bunny ears behind the Governor's head, and found himself summarily without a job.

I have sympathy for the individuals, but we live in a time where there is great variety in what is considered free speech. But free speech is not 'free' in that it has no repercussions. It never has been.

I'm pretty sure there would be repercussions to making bunny ears behind the Queen of England.
