I don't know about you, but my head is spinning right about now--this store is owned by a French company, that store has CD's by that anti-American artist, that store has stuff made in China, that store stocks Che Guevera shirts, I can't buy this DVD because this actor said these awful things, AAAAHHHHH!! I think I'll just throw up my brains and die.

Linus, please come and tell me what Christmas is really all about?

Figure that everyone on FR has their own boycott list. I've been surfing here for several years and if I boycotted something everytime some Freeper voiced their displeasure about it and called for a boycott, I'd be living in a cave, eating food that I either grew myself or killed with my bare hands.

Some people just don't deal well with the fact that there are opinions out there different from their own. Their answer? Boycott!!! That'll show 'em! I'm sure that Target will shake in its boots over a half dozen angry conservatives talking about not shopping at their store for a week or two, or until they forget about it.

Now, if people were really serious about making a difference, a well-thought out (and handwritten) letter to the C-O 's and directors of the company, stating the problem specifically, and suggestions to remedy it, will get a whole bunch of attention. Don't ask me why handwritten letters get more attention.....they just do. Might be because it shows the person is interested and not just cut-and-pasting off of some web site.

Try it, it works.
