However, the sad thing is, you rarely fire someone without reason. All too often, a person can point to some part of their personality/beliefs/etc, etc that can be used for discrimination, find some obscure past comment or action, and make a case for "discrimination" as the cause for being fired.
What I'm trying to say is that it's rarely as cut-and-dried as the law makes it to be. All you have to do is make one "redneck", "holy roller", or "feminist" crack (in the ten years the person has been employed) and voila, you have a discriminatory firing.
Thanks for the info, though - that's pretty interesting.
