This Friday on "20/20," I say "Give Me a Break" to the people complaining about the "evil" company, WEYCO, which fired employees for smoking -- smoking not at work, but at home. Some politicians angrily and righteously claim that the Bill of Rights protects workers from such intrusive bosses. I say bunk -- the Bill of Rights protects us from over-reaching government power, not from bossy bosses. Government is a fearsome master because we have only one government, and government can use force. But we have many employers, and none may use force. An employee who doesn't like a boss's rules can quit, and find another job. Yet some employees act as if they own their jobs.

The show begins with the dramatic story of a woman who cheated death three times at the hands of her estranged husband. He hit her with a flashlight, tried to smother and drown her, and attacked her in a hotel room. Because there was no prior history of domestic violence he was released on bond. Several weeks he later hid in the back of her van and shot her. When she didn't die, he tried to finish the job from jail by hiring a hit man to not only kill Amy, but her brother and mother as well. The husband had no idea the "hit man" was actually an undercover officer. Then we follow four weight-conscious people who try a brand new crash diet, the detox diet, that promises results practically overnight.

And Barbara Walters visits with the Rosie and Kelli O'Donnell family. Now the gay couple's kids are asking questions like, "Mommy, will I be gay too?"

Does anyone REALLY believe that the company justifiably fired these people? Easy enough to SAY just find another job if you don't like the company's policies, but the economy pretty much sucks right now and getting new work isn't always easy. Smoking? Come on. The easiest solution would be for the tobacco companies to fund these people's lawsuits. End of story.
