Complaining about a certain state or federal tax policy is one thing, but social issues are the most divisive out there. I include immigration and affirmative action in this category. Nothing wrong with boycots. All sides have their fair share. Just listen to Glenn Beck or Al Sharpton, or other talking heads, long enough and they al eventually get to a boycott. My family has boycotted Walmart for years ... based on their poor benefits packages (may have changed in the last few years admittedly). It was ironic and a little sad when I learned that both American political parties have big names on that corporation's board. Another time I boycotted a place was way back in college. My ex-girlfriend and I used to go to a local dive restaurant for greaseball sandwiches once or twice a week. After several months going there I noticed that the main cook and manager happend to have swastica tattos on his knuckles.Anyway, that was about as extreme a reason I can think of to never frequent a place again. I also was pretty vocal about my dislike of that guy and his restaurant to my fellow students from then on. Hope my comments remained in bounds. C.I.D.</blockquote>
