My $.02: Do you guys remember the Exxon Oil spill a few years ago? The boycott against Exxon at the time was HUGE. That "fiasco" had huge coverage and many people would not buy Exxon gas for a LONG time after the accident. But as many that boycotted Exxon, many more did not, and the bottom line is Exxon survived and is still going strong today. My personal opinion is that boycotts make *you* feel better inside, more than making a huge difference to the cause. Its a personal decision whether to support the state of Michigan financially in any way. If it makes you feel good, then do it. The bottom line is that Michigan most likely won't curl up and die because of a boycott. I think education works better than anger. Boycotting them won't make them educate themselves - it might make them think we're a bunch of fanatics. Educate them, don't alienate them. - Mish __MICHELLE Z.
