Are personal boycotts worth it? I'm conflicted about them. On the one hand, you get to keep the moral high ground and know that none of your money supports unethical behaviour. On the other hand, it doesn't matter one bit to, say, Wal-mart if I shop there or not. If it's part of an organized movement to shame the company into changing, then it's a different story. If it's just on an individual level, I'm not so sure.
