text: do u think on may 1st ppl that dont show to work should b fired? i heard that some ppl will get fired if they dont show up i dont agree with that at all   wut do u guys think?? i don't think they should be fired and here is why: if the protest was against the war overseas or for women's rights. then people would be jumping at the opportunity to say "i'm a patriot, take the day off, no problems here". but this being a non-white benefiting cause, now people are up in arms about how there should be dire consequences. i just think the same standards should be applied across the board
