Maybe we should rethink all of us selling widgets on the internet as their megacorporations take over our lives.

You don't have to sell widgets... inventors for example develop their own products and market them on the internet, and there's a million more examples. You can carve out your own little niche that's totally free of corporate control.

For the gays and other Christian bigots are real weapon is boycotting their products and putting them out of business.

Um, yeah, we're all inventors. I know: Each inventor can sell his invention to other inventors, and we'll be free, forever. I doubt that there are a "million" more examples. Leaving the field in defeat is not defeating the enemy, friend.

You know what the truth is? The truth is, the mass market is so...MASS, that a puny little boycott is, at best, like a hiccup to a big corporation. They are rarely big enough to do any damage, and they also lack staying power--"Hey, Hon, are we stil boycotting GM, or is that over?"

Please rethink.

I think this is one of the reasons the Amish have been so selective about using technology. They know the more they depend on the outside world the more they become subservient to it. And the less they need the more they are free.
