Every step of the way, Caribou claims that they care for the environment as well as workers' conditions/wages, etc. That gave me a good feeling about Caribou. <BR/><BR/>Regarding Vick, yeah the public seems to have overreacted, especially when one considers all of the other "outrages" that exist in today's world. But I don't think law enforcement has overreacted. I also don't think the NFL or Arthur Blank (Vick's previous boss) have overreacted either. <BR/><BR/>If you're making a lot of money, and then do something that results in the loss of your job, then naturally you're out a lot of money. (So when people say Vick is losing $75 million or whatever, that number doesn't faze me. Losing your job is losing your job.) <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, while my initial inclination was that it was "overkill" for Arthur Blank to try to recoup past payments to Vick, I guess it will come down to what was in the contract that Vick signed. As bad as I might feel for Vick's situation, the Falcons' owner has the right to review all aspects of the contract and see what he can get back to re-invest in the franchise.Greg McConnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504912601218236507noreply@blogger.com
