Akidron, At the moment, the market seems to agree with you on NKE -- I respectfully disagree. [Spring line looks good; more reasonable price points, etc.] As far as cheap labor, ever seen a disk-drive assembly facility? No real point here, just thinking of sweatshops. In fact, up in my neck of the woods --Brockton, Lowell, and Lawrence,MA -- during America's early-industrialization (not really a word, but what the hell) ... the conditions in those shoe facilities were abysmal. It is/was not right, per se, just a step along the way in economic "progress." [We can have a philosophical argument about "true progress" all night.] Let's let this one die a peaceful death. Never the twain shall meet -- at least not tonight! [Got to watch a video with the wife.] --Duker
