As a side note, if you believe in personal boycotts, where should you draw the line? If you don't want to support, say, Mel Gibson, and don't want him to get any of your money, should you cancel your Netflix subscription? If you don't want to support Microsoft, should you also boycott any companies that rely on their software? Is there an organization too big to boycott? EDIT: On re-reading, I think this post sounds kind of dickish, though it's not meant to. I've always had kind of a strange approach to morality, and I've been through phases of my life where the cancelling Netflix example would have made perfect sense to me. The questions are genuine, because they're ones I've never been able to answer to my own satisfaction.
