Joycelyn Elders as their scholarship keynote speaker?

The problem is that the heads of these companies influence the direction of their company. For instance they would support democrats because they are more likely to have chummy relationships with China. While that is good for their bottom dollar, their stockholders, and their customers in the short term, it may not be the best for the country.

These major companies have huge influence over politics and contribute to moral advance or decay. It looks to me that their scholarship fund is a typical lefty give away. All of their keynote speakers are lefty, (not sure about Magic) and Elders is a complete nut. By giving your money to them, you contribute to their ideals and them personally.

I will not stop shopping, I will just shop elsewhere, where politics are more subdued or to my taste. That is everyone's choice, so it can go either way. It is our responsibility to support or not people, ideas, companies, parties, etc that are of good moral, ethical and political worth. If not us, who?

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"

It's a little dramatic in this case, but it is necessary to start with the small things and work up. It works the same for ethical decisions of companies with CEO's that lie cheat and steal. If you support ideas, companies, politicians, people that are ethical and moral, then that is what many will strive to be. It's social supply and demand.

THIS -- THIS!!!! THIS IS A VALID REASON TO BOYCOTT COSTCO!

Costco is sponsoring an immoral former public official who is in the realm of indcotrinating youth to her f'ed up views.

THAT is a reason to boycott Costco. Unless they are willing to present an alternative speaker who advocates abstinence, I will not give them any money...
