Instant gratification boycott is what it is all about without thinking of the Law of Unintended Consequences. The goal seems to be to hurt somebody even if it is the little guy.
I heard a story the other week on NPR with an Hispanic woman who owned a BP station with her husband and how they struggled to get by and the boycott hurt them and reduced their revenue where she needed to come up with $9000 for the week and did not have it. She was in tears.
Again, how could anyone feel noble about a boycott that in reality hurts little people without impacting BP much at all?
