If people desire to boycott a business in today’s day and age that promotes homosexual âmarriageâ, you will need to entirely live off the land and forfeit government goodies/bank/savings accounts. Get your bows and arrows handy too, not sure if gun manufactures are falling for the sham as well.
From Milton Friedman:
Look at this lead pencil. Theres not a single person in the world who could make this pencil. Remarkable statement? Not at all. The wood from which it is made, for all I know, comes from a tree that was cut down in the state of Washington. To cut down that tree, it took a saw. To make the saw, it took steel. To make steel, it took iron ore.
This black centerwe call it lead but its really graphite, compressed graphiteIm not sure where it comes from, but I think it comes from some mines in South America. This red top up here, this eraser, a bit of rubber, probably comes from Malaya, where the rubber tree isnt even native! It was imported from South America by some businessmen with the help of the British government. This brass ferrule? [Self-effacing laughter.] I havent the slightest idea where it came from. Or the yellow paint! Or the paint that made the black lines. Or the glue that holds it together. Literally thousands of people co-operated to make this pencil. People who dont speak the same language, who practice different religions, who might hate one another if they ever met! When you go down to the store and buy this pencil, you are in effect trading a few minutes of your time for a few seconds of the time of all those thousands of people. What brought them together and induced them to cooperate to make this pencil? There was no commissar sending out orders from some central office. It was the magic of the price system: the impersonal operation of prices that brought them together and got them to cooperate, to make this pencil, so you could have it for a trifling sum.

The point is this -— the products we use are created by thousands of people whose moral values you are not aware of. They could be Muslims, Sympathetic to Terrorists, they could be sympathetic to communists, they could have broken our laws, they could be immoral themselves, you just don’t know.
It would require something short of omniscience to know which maker of which product is or is not in harmony with your moral and religious values.
