Agreed with the right to voice an opinion. If I was swaying opinion to support cancer research, I doubt I'd employee a cigarette industry spokesman as a representative. Francesco Schettino's, (skipper Costa Concordia) resume for the position of Corporate Safety Spokesman is similarly unlikely to be well recieved at Carnival Cruise Lines. But, he sure has the right to make the application.
