Boycott

Here are a couple of "low-impact" boycotts I am going to try to follow for myself.

1. The Golf Channel.  I like watching the Golf Channel's coverage of the European and US tours.  The problem is that I constantly have to see commercials featuring Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh.  Sheesh...isn't there anywhere I can go to hide from these guys?  Enough already.  I haven't watched for a few weeks now and I intend to keep it that way until those two guys are gone.
2. Amazon.com.   We have bought a fair amount of stuff from Amazon.  They have the internet business model down pat.  Prices and service are the best.  But their stance on collecting sales tax is no longer supportable.  They should be able to collect them like every other retailer.  It's part of doing business in this country and is not really a burdensome thing.  The excuses they give are phony.  So I intend to stop shopping there until they start paying sales tax like they should.

I know that neither the Golf Channel nor Amazon will care.  But it makes me feel better.
