Always Read Before Signing

A short post a sort of addendum on the government or business post. If you follow this Globe and Mail link it takes you to an article dealing with that soon to be, if not all ready, ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. In short BP was accepting applications from citizens in town of Venice for possible work. The work offered was not disclosed but accompanying the applications were waivers that if signed would relinquish the right to sue BP for damages that may be incurred due to the spill.
I think that any fair minded person would have to consider that to be shoddy move. To those in the business of proactive risk management I'm guessing that you might think otherwise? Management is required to put their corporations interests ahead of yours. It is not personal it's just business. That is why we have governments. Their job is to look after the interests of society as a whole.
