"Boycott Berkeley—Support Our Troops—Let Berkeley sell their products to the Taliban." A software company already reported losing a $60,000 contract because of the council's anti-war resolution, Dean said. Additionally, she said that a number of restaurants have seen their clientele drop. Bill Lambert, manager of the city's Office of Economic Development, said it is unfortunate that politics could be detrimental to local businesses.

HA HA HA! Unfortunate.

Well, it _is_ California, so we had better explain it to him.

Like? Dude?

It works like this?

When your local Duma votes those resolutions?

The rest of the country votes with their wallets.

In reality that software "company" was probably grateful to pin that loss on any excuse..so welcome as it may be to hear that, I rejoice only with caution.

BUMP to caution and a good freeping of these fools. Email seems to be getting their attention.
