<p class=MsoNormal>This discussion of business boycotts should have the maximum
free market/individual choice limited government advocates leaping to defend
the informed choice of consumers, the free flow of information, and free
speech rights. Anyone following recent history will recall the local
boycott advocated by certain moral guardians against businesses selling certain
sexy magazines. If I recall correctly, the boycott was somewhat
successful in forcing the businesses to either pull from the racks, or
otherwise make less visible, the "offending" magazines. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>If a person or group thinks the products certain businesses
are selling, or the profits generated by a business, are doing social
harm, they are within their rights, as far as I know, to make public
information about what businesses are associated with the "social
harm." People can make their own choices in the matter. There
may be civil legal actions that can be taken against a person or a group who
damages a business by pursuing a boycott, depending. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>To construct an extreme example, If KKK associated
individuals were running businesses locally, using the profits to fund KKK
activities, many would welcome a list of these businesses, to inform them of
what their patronage was supporting, even if the KKK activities are
protected by the US Constitution. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Those suggesting business boycotts should consider that if
their is widespread skepticism of the boycott, public sympathy with the
business or businesses might increase their business. The boycott of the
Beatles after John Lennon made his comment about the Beatles being more popular
than Jesus Christ was just more publicity for the Beatles, though Beatles
albums were being burned in bonfires by those outraged by Lennon's comment. <o:p></o:p></p>
