    I feel it's kind of wrong to boycott her business just because people don't like her daddy.

    Well I guess it depends on the reason behind it.

    I do not buy certain products or shop at some businesses for a variety of reasons. Likewise, I support other businesses by giving them my custom. I have always done so, though never as a part of an organized boycott. Everyone has the right to do so, for whatever reasons they choose. Sometimes organized boycotts work, sometimes they backfire.

    Thank you for your reply Bozette. I have never boycotted a product but I don't shop at some stores because of the views of the owners so I guess that's boycotting isn't it?

  • Ahh the beauty of the free market when people choose to engage it and use it.  The power of the consumer.

    To consume or not to consume? That is the question. Thank you for your reply Glis and Happy Wednesday! :)

  • That would make a great title for a class discussion or Ted talk type of thing.
