According to Dan Eaton, an attorney and ethics professor at San Diego University, the engineer certainly has grounds for a case on two fronts. "First, federal labor law bars even non-union employers like Google from punishing an employee for communicating with fellow employees about improving working conditions," Eaton writes.
And second, because the memo was a statement of political views, Eaton says Google may have violated California law which "prohibits employers from threatening to fire employees to get them to adopt or refrain from adopting a particular political course of action."
The reaction to his memo completely vindicates everything he wrote, and I suspect few have read it. A Google employee tried to get him fired and failed, that's why the memo was leaked--that is hostility. His attempt at dialog was perfectly reasonable.

We live in a democracy, and a pledge of allegiance has no place in a democracy.
You live in a Constitutional, Representative Republic. The flag represents your country, and if you have no allegiance to it then you don't belong in it.
This is my country and I have a moral duty to help my countrymen destroy the flag and it's government if it does not follow our wishes.
Then you pledge allegiance to your countrymen but not your country. Can you guess why I find this illogical?
I noticed the ping problem awhile ago, and UDP is just the tip of the iceberg. A SYN (sent to any port, closed or not) will also prompt unpatched MacOS 9 to send the 1500 byte icmp packet. Stranger still, the OS will send the ping to all connected hosts every 17-22 minutes, but at no regular interval. The data in the packet is empty. However Apple managed to let something this apparent slip beyond alpa testing is beyond me.
Politicians understand the internet?

No. Has it occurred to any of them that the internet is radically different from any media outlet of our time? No. So they apply the same rules and principles of archaic communication forms such as radio and television to a 21st century development. The internet is best compared to a city with a disproportionate red-light district. Anyone uninformed enough to send their child wandering through such a realm would be in absence of a few screws. If anything the government should take steps to educate their public, rather than restrict. Any limits inposed beyond that of innate mores are unacceptable. Call me selfish, but I am not willing to deal with any impediments on my internet galavanting on account of 'Joe Irresponsible Parent'.
