With Rob being the latest victim, it seems like more and more people are getting fired for what they write during their spare time. Personally, I try to maintain a low profile. I don't hide who I am, but I don't advertise it unnecessarily either. Perhaps we should all think twice about posting photos of ourselves, telling people what city we live in, where we work, or what we do for a living. If you have your own domain name, a quick whois search can provide a wealth of information.

Personally, I work for a small company, so my risk is a little bit lower than those that work for big politically correct corporations like Rob did. I work for the owner, and have discovered over many a beer that my boss actually thinks a lot like I do. Also, despite not working for 4 months last year, I still have plenty of money saved up. If I were fired it would be a setback, but not exactly the end of the world for me. Being single and without children, it would be just another obstacle for me to overcome. (I can always sleep in my car.)

Still, I cannot help but think that in today's oversensitive world, we are all just a google search away from being discovered and possibly fired for exercising our free speech.
