Well simple - for me. Kodak corporately espouses a way of life that is anethema to me, as a Christian. Furthermore they ram it down an employee's throat and allow no expression to 'opt out' or dissent, based on personal conviction.

Bottom line? My money is mine to spend - not American, not Kodak's, not anyone elses. I choose not to buy from those companies which uphold things that I see as detrimental to my beliefs, my country and my children's world. I will probably look for another film company - unfortunately there are not many left.

Kodak has VERY pointedly chosen its road - and I choose to withold my money.

anethema = anathema

Yes, but a boycott of Kodak will harm thousands of Conservative Christians just like you. The managment is too obtuse to figure out why they ticked off an entire market segment.

Excellent! I could not have said this better. To support a company whose ideals you vehemently object to just because they are an American company is not consistent with my beliefs either.
