I think we can probably settle on that. For me, it's hard to know what's worse - the failure and refusal to confront the realities of why any business exploits illegal immigrants or the fact that there are souls that do it in the first place. But for me, that choice - of which is worse - is often where I get mired down. Boring Made Dull – it’s bad all around. I think we can probably settle on that.

Do you think the courts and/or agents were complicit in having the charges brought in the order that they were? In other words, I'd think, why couldn't they have charged him with the accounting stuff before, earlier than the raids? I don't know - from what I do know? This plant has had problems for a very very long time. I can tell you that among most Jews, we sincerely consider it a huge shanda. That’s a great observation, Lisa Renee.

Though I suspect that $20,000 doesn't go as far as it used to when you're on the lam. Personally, I'm all for tossing these kinds of crooks in jail, for both a)the child labor / illegal alien scheme as well as b) the attempt to defraud the company's creditors. Though, come to think of it, coming out against fraud ande xploiting illegal immigrants and children doesn't exactly qualify as a profile in courage.

It seems to devalue the lives of those that were affected for him to have been able to go about his daily life.
