Reply #56: I think it's a good symbolic protest

It's a way for people, who perhaps have not been involved before, to get involved in something. Some people volunteer 8 hours a day to activism, trying to change the world, which I admire. I can't do that but I can pay attention to where I spend and invest my money. I don't want to be an "activist" where I spend only 1 hour every two years voting in elections. I vote with my dollars whenever I spend. I have been living a boycott lifestyle since I have been politicized a couple of years ago by the Iraq war. I don't get any fun by just talking, but I do get a lot of fun doing something. I also donate money to causes.
