I think boycotts in general just don’t work. It’s fine to choose to spend money someplace else as long as you’re still getting the same service and same satisfaction. If a business can’t satisfy it’s customers then they need to concentrate less on politics and more on providing a relevant service. We’ve seen that happen with the news recently. People have been defecting from print media in favor of the internet because the internet gives every side of every position (accuracy sometimes suffers) and because they have seen newspapers and traditional media as not impartial observers to the news. That’s an example of a business that is failing because of the weight of it’s biased opinions. Whole Foods would be like that if John Mackey scoffed at his customer base and told them to shove it. But, he didn’t. He just stated his opinion. I’m sure he is still interested in everyone buying his products.

Indeed! It’s hard to believe that we’re not running around killing each other yet with all the indignant nut jobs (both on the right and the left) stoking the flames of controversy. Most people just want some money to get through their lives stress free. We’re not out looking to pick fights.
