Actually, I have given this question alot of thought

lately. If we don't vote with dollars, pounds, yen, etc.,

then we have no effective means of communication

with large corporations. If many people individually

took the time to state how they felt and then stood their

ground, effective communication would be set up and

I think Amazon would indeed stop selling the book -

I haven't read this particular book so really cannot speak

to it at all.

Ethics are not usually black and white, the more we incrementally

grow towards greater integrity, the clearer it becomes. We are all

responsible for the co-creation of the world we live in. The

choices we make each day give or do not give us freedom, it's

not a God-given birthright as it was in the Age of Pisces.

So, yes, boycotts can be effective. And silence, although sometimes

golden, can sometimes damn us. We're self-responsible and we may

as well learn this lesson of the next 2000 years now, our silence now

may be our undoing. The Age of Pisces had heros, who saved the

masses. The only hero available will be in the mirror - that one will

save the " victims " of erroneous thoughts. Now.

climbing down off the soapbox ...
