Cynthetiq, either you're ignoring the point or you're totally missing my point. The point is that we are allowing our job or our schools to go beyond our working time and dictate what we do in our PRIVATE time.
Several people have brought up the fact that people can just "find another job" as if you just walk into wherever you want and they hire you no questions asked. It's not that fucking easy. Have you bothered to check the unemployment rates lately? Have you been looking for a job lately? I have and there isn't shit in my field right now. I've had my resume reviewed by several professional recruiters, hr people, etc. they all say I wrote an excellent one. My grades are good and I have experience, yet there's so much competition that I've gone nowhere. Say I finally find what I'm looking for but wait, they don't allow employees to smoke. I'm then faced with keeping the job that isn't going to make enough money once my kid is born or working at a place that FORCES me to change my lifestyle, a lifestyle that has NEVER caused me to miss work or use one penny of my medical coverage and is 100% LEGAL. These policies are becoming more and more common. Eventually people who make certain LEGAL life decisions will face fewer and fewer job or schooling opportunities. It's not fucking right and its completely un-American.
The constitution guarantees us life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When did we decide that corporations should be allowed to trump those rights?

Because you agreed to it.

The basis of the arguement is that organizations should not be allowed to force such agreements on people.
