Anybody know of any GE subsidiaries that should be added to this boycott?

Most power companies generate electricity with GE turbines. I suggest we teach those b*st*rds a lesson by returning to wood fires and using gasoline generators. Meet you back here when you get the steam powered modem up and running.

What a pathetic attempt at wit!
No one has suggested that it's possible to boycott all GE products; only a moron would arrive at that conclusion.

What we can do, I among them, is to avoid personally buying anything with the GE logo on it. And there are dozens of such products. I personally got rid of everything I could find in my household with the GE logo, including an under-the-counter microwave and a small screen TV. Haven't used GE lightbulbs for years.

Call it a symbolic gesture and a private expression of disgust. Will it make a difference? I don't care.
