Do boycotts really work? I'm curious about this. Apparently, I am supposed to be currently boycotting BP for the Gulf fiasco, Lowe's for supporting gay rights, Target for supporting an anti-gay politician, Wal-Mart for being run by greedy bastards, and Arizona for SB 1070. (I heard someone say he was no longer drinking Arizona iced tea because of SB 1070. Um...the beverage has nothing to do with the state, dumbass!)
Isn't it fair to say every corporation has its own agenda, and, unless we do away with corporations, nothing is going to change? I believe the only way to affect a major corporation is to become a major shareholder, then to apply pressure accordingly. But, do you want to own stock in a company that you find morally reprehensible? Ah, the modern quandary.
