iOne of these days, I'm gonna make a compendium of all the various products and websites that we are urged to boycott.

Then I'll sit back and laugh at it because it will be next to impossible live without the goods/services all these companies provide.

I advocated boycotting a list of companies, all of which provide information and/or entertainment. Are you saying that you cannot live without these companies? I like information and entertainment, too, but I am selective about those I give money to. In fact, all I need is the Bible, the Constitution, and a few expository texts such as The Federalist Papers. Everything else is luxury. I am not anti-book; I own many hundreds. But how many do I really need? I certainly don't need People Magazine or CNN, which are parts of the anti-American AOL-Time-Warner conglomerate.

It would be very difficult to live without the sum total off all of the various companies that various causes here have advocated for boycott. Boycott Target because the Salvation Army can't solicit donations out front; Boycott Gap, Lowes and Best Buy because they say "Happy Holidays"; Boycott Citgo because they are a Venezuelan State run company; Don't go to Disney or buy a Ford truck or any number of other products because of their pro-homosexual policies. These are the ones that come to mind right now, but I've seen hundreds of pleas for boycotts here. I'm thinking all of these boycotts have been largely ineffective. But enjoy yourself as you sit at home with your bible, constitution and Federalist papers and nothing else.

Today, I'll be home watching a football game on CBS (heaven forbid) from a TV purchased at Best Buy (shudder), reading books, magazines from boycotted media outlets (oh my!).
