<DIV>Andreas,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I don't believe in boycotting people for having a different view on a levy or candidate than I do. If we do, we will start living in a society where people make anonymous posts and radio ads out of fear of losing their jobs. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It is a different story if the business is doing something which causes harm because of business related activities, like dumping toxic waste in a river, or using slave labor to make their products. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>There is distinction between punishing someone financially for not voting and believing as you versus that of contributing to a business that harms the environment or other people because you purchase from them. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Andreas Schou <ophite@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px;
