Thursday, July 1, 2010  Boycotting BP?  I've just taken notice
of all these various nationwide campaigns that have been
launched encouraging a boycott of BP, theoretically designed to
punish them for the ongoing ecological disaster in the Gulf of
Mexico.  I understand the desire to express outrage over the
mess, but I think the underlying premise here is a faulty one.
When people launch boycotts of Glenn Beck, they are hoping to
force him out of business. Is that the goal here? Suppose,
against all odds, that this boycott is tremendously effective
and all Americans stop purchasing fuel from BP. This would cause
BP to declare bankruptcy, and if that happens, who is gonna pay
for the cleanup?  Perhaps I'm missing a key point behind the
logic of these calls for a boycott, but it seems that the
American people should be hoping for the continued financial
success of least until the people impacted by this spill are
back on their feet.  Thursday, February 18, 2010  "Reasonable"
