Two Things

(NB: These are both about political topics...so...you can skip it if you want.)

Firstly: "Vote Them Out"

I am all in favor of those using their franchise to vote what they believe even when I disagree with their choices. (See popular referendums that deny civil rights protections to those who do not have them) but I find the vote them out movement to be silly.

Yes, everyone has the right to be angry, and many of our public servants have failed us. Some of these people are venal sub-humans only concerned with their personal power but...not all of them.

Two of the men listed on the poster that I have seen around here are not only good people but wonderful public servants and New York State is a better place because of their service. They do not deserve to lose their jobs, and their right to serve, based on the fear and ignorance that is being drummed up by "people" like Glenn Beck.

Secondly: Where does a person shop these days?

There has been a continuing boycott of Target and Best Buy (two Minnesota based companies that donated money to a PAC that is supporting a candidate who is...frankly...a bigot) and while it has not impacted my life in any noticable way, it has caused some issues. There is a place for these big box stores and they do full some of the need in my life, so, if two of the major ones are off limits, where do I shop? What is the local equivelent of Target or Best Buy?

Would it make me a hypocrite if I ignored the boycott?

How many others are honoring it?
