5. All boycotts hurt innocent people.

Edited on Sat Nov-12-05 11:29 PM by QC

Taking money away from the bossman always means hurting the people who depend on the bossman for their livelihoods.

That's why boycotting is never to be done lightly, and yes, some boycotts are irresponsible. You could very credibly argue that about this one. But to declare that boycotts are, by definition, terrorism is pure foolishness. Dissent is being redefined as terrorism quickly enough lately without helping things along.
