Oh come on, that's hardly comparable.
It is a point well taken. None of us have any control how others use the wealth that our purchases and patronage provide. Nor can they control what we do with our money.

ASB's example was NOT the same thing. His is like saying, what if I bought Pampered Chef products from you, and you paid an assistant for helping with the party, and that assistant turned around and bought a Blizzard with his Amex. Let's be honest - his example was a bit convoluted and hardly fair.
You might as well say, what if the actual dollar bill I used to pay for my kids' m&ms was given by the convenience store owner to tip the pizza boy who then gave it to his buddy to buy pot, gasp, I'm funding drug trafficking, no more m&ms for my kids!!!
Tongue in cheek but a more comparable illustration.
