Sorry dude, we’ll never agree. I think it’s going to hurt the little guy who can’t afford to move. He/she probably cringes at the city council’s actions.

The movers and shakers in Berkely will be unaffected by your boycott. Sorry. Can’t support it.

I suspect you are correct...One example is the large convention trade that comes in to town for conventions. There is a waiter serving food, or a housekeeper cleaning a room that will suffer along with the owner of the hotel. But we need to put a perspective on it... Their suffering will be minor relative to the suffering the troops endure. Very minor.

Maybe the little guy should do something more about it than cringe and go home to his TV set. I thank God there are Patriots like Drango, willing to watch our troops' back.

The Marines are watching his back while "the little guy" lets this crap happen?!

Those days are gone, as are the days of protests going unanswered. Those days were the 60's and the people who chose to do nothing or didn't know enough to do something had a name or didn't realize how actions like this would affect our troops and our country had a name. It was called the Silent Majority. The Silent Majority is dead. Well, most of it anyway. I see there are hangers-on.

Yes, but if the little guy is effected by the boycott
which is in reaction to the Berkeley government, that
little guy ain’t gonna vote for the same council to be
in power.
Just don’t send your kids to UCB, or don’t visit the
area or do business with those companies which are
supportive of the council. A good thing to do would be
to find out what companies paid for the obnoxious council
members campaign, and boycott those companies.
