Not really. I've eaten, imbibed and worn products from all the companies I
now now try to avoid. It's not some purifying exercise; I simply despise the
companies I mentioned and have no desire to give them my money. Of course, I
despise most of corporate culture, but there are only so many options, as
I've said, so one makes choices, if one so desires. Other LBOers think it's
all elitist fantasy play, and seem to have no problem wearing a swoosh cap
while washing down some of Don Tyson's wretched chicken with a tall cup of
iced Starbucks houseblend. I can't change it, so let me at it!
