There are MAnY people I do business with that hold differing views than my own...on politics, moral issues, religion, what they like on their morning toast...but we still do business together.
Not really Ginger. I dont have the voice they have. My not supporting them financially is what can speak for me. There are plenty of people who do this all the time and I think its really silly and close-minded to call people like this "silly and close-minded". (once again dont read too much tone into it i am just discussing, i am not angry about it)
There are people that wont shop at Wal-Mart or buy gas from certian companies, ect. This type of thing happens all the time. Would you support Enron if they were still viable and you had other choices? I wouldnt. I hope i am making some sense here, or at least helping you understand the original point...or it could be that its late and i am slipping into an incoherent slumber.
