[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6350978, member: 8835"] I think it's a complicated problem. For instance, I have no clue what OSC's deeply held beliefs are that are so bad (not because I agree with him, I am simply unaware of the conflict). How am I supposed to know who is good and who is bad? What about companies that directly espouse bad views? What about evil companies that own everything else? RJ Reynolds the cigarette company owns Kraft and a bunch of other companies that we all eat with out realizing we are benefiting an evil overlord? How far should I make effort to impact these people and companies should I go? is just not buying product enough? Should I lobby to convince others to join me? Should I picket? Should I write my congressman? Does Activism even work? Does all this effort to bring down WalMart actually have an impact on WalMart? Or should I just mind my own business and buy what I want/need and accept that as a matter of society, I will inevitably be doing business with people who do not hold the same values as me? [/QUOTE]
