Thread Name: BS: My own personal boycott
Subject: RE: BS: My own personal boycott
JTT: You're off to a good start. I think that boycotts can bring about changes. Rememeber the "Boycott Grapes" from the early 70's. No? Well I do. Ceasar Chevez, a union organizer who was trying to help the migrant laborers in California organized it and it got good publicity and support.

The problem this time around is narrowing down the folks who are more guilty than others which isn't as easy. While I agree that McDonalds is killing off their customers by fillin' 'em up with greese and fat, I don't think they need be targeted over displeasure with American foriegn policy. I'm not sure who is but I am sure someone does.

Anyone have any ideas on a better target.

The obvious target is the US Governemnt itself. We Americans give them a lot of our money and expect some return on the investment. Hmmmmmm? What if everyone just quit paying taxes?
