The free market is a collection of millions of individual decisions; a boycott is a collective action. They are not the same.

For all their bellyaching, they sure understand money, and they sure as hell ain't going to get mine.

That's fine and your prerogative, but that's an individual decision, as it should be. The matter I was addressing was the "value" of a boycott, which is an organized, centralized action.

Have you ever heard of onemillionmoms.com and onemilliondads.com? They've done much in helping to clean the filth off TV..they don't even have to boycott but deluge advertisers with emails voicing displeasure. It is very effective when a body of potential customers complain!

Advertisers, more than anyone else, know that it does no good whatsoever if you've offended your prospective customer to the point that they get mad. An angry prospect does not a customer make.

I've been boycotting this crowd for many years now (and yes I did have 2 give up 2 Baldwin films "Miami Blues" and "The Shadow"; I get physically ill hearing this man talk and his slimeball character in MB seems as manipulative and controlling as the genuine article).

I never was a Robin Williams fan (at least he went to entertain the troops). Tim Robbins is an annoying person (think a mellow and not as overweight Michael Moore). And who can deal with the heavy handed preaching in reruns of MASH?

Merry Christmas!
