Hopenhagen. . .this from WND a few days ago. Is this 'postponed'or what? This all should be 'surreal'and while not surprised at the individual inclinations/persuasions here; am stunned at the corporate coalescing to faciliate. . .

What is it with these corporations begging for taxes to "solve" a "problem" that isn't a problem?

Are they being blackmailed?

I stopped buying Pepsi products when that lady exec used her ...eh... “social finger” to designate the United States.

If this article is true, I’ve bought my last Coca Cola product.

Say it ain’t so, Mean Joe.

I’ve gave up Coke a while back.

I drink Kool-aid mostly now. I can control the amount of sugar in them. And it’s real sugar not high fructose corn syrup. That or green tea.

And I just discovered Almond Brisk as a milk substitute. Doesn’t break out my skin. Tastes sweet, but I don’t see any artificial sugars in it.

Looks like we've a lot of different things to boycott. It doesn't do any good to just pick out one "villain" and continue to patronize the rest......
