Should we watch Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, Jack Nicholson, Angelica Huston, ad nauseum, movies?

What about the inverse? Should we patronize a business simply because like a political ideology?

Should I turn away customers because of their ideology or life style?

Bastiat said that where goods and services cross the border (free trade) armies do not. Will people be more accomodating if we simply see the green of their dollar rather than their ideology, orientation, race?

What might happen if Blacks, instead of boycotting, became his best customers? What if his livelihood depended on those he denigrates?

I understand wanting to boycott, in fact I do so in some instances, but I also understand the horror of trying to pass a political litmus test with my customers everyday at work. Not a pleasant existence.

I am pretty sure I would not buy this wine as a gift for any of my Black friends or acquaintances.

If a child molester becomes a movie star, I will boycott.
