good for red lobster.  i am sure that there were many others lined up to
take their place.   However, I was actually refering to whatever entity  was
contracting in Honduras as the corporation that needs to take care of its
employees.  

i feel that for us to take care of their mess would in effect be releasing
them from the responsibiliy.

if the US public was more aware of the situation, eventually something might
be done to correct the problems.
