[...] coming up about those adventures. Oh yea. On Monday we pick up our beef for the year, since Monsanto won’t be ready to graduate until next [...]

Hey Guys have rights too! I wonder what the public reaction would be if we organized a “Guy Rights” campaign, sighting all the places where a father’s rights have been stripped away by our justice system… you might be on to something here, but I doubt the Disney leadership would get behind us.

On Disney, I feel the same about them as I do all corporations. They are patently non-biblical… that is to say you do not find the concept of corporations at all in the Bible. The Walmart series covers this in more detail.

But to answer your question, where we are able to, we avoid spending money with any organization that would use it to promote evil. We also choose to use our money to support local families we know, who live in the community we are a part of, as opposed to sending our money to some corporate headquarters in New Jersey or Bentonville, AR.

There is a lot more to this than I can put in a comment… You started me on a new post about the local economy. So you can take the credit or the blame for that post when it comes.

Not provoking here, just wondering…but does this mean that you also boycott all things Disney since they support guy rights as well? (when I had a season’s pass there, I remember them actually shutting down the park for “gay day” once a year - I’m sure it had a more official name, but that’s how I’ve always remembered it.)
I’m actually wondering how many corporations you know of who support gay rights and if all are boycotted?
Again, really not provoking (it’s hard to read tones in email and comments sometimes! ), just wondering…

Hi Clair,

It’s true, Walmart is starting to get the picture on healthier products, but only because there is a dollar in it for them. In my view walmart could be selling silver dollars that get you into heaven and they would still be the premier symbol of what is wrong with America, not what is right. I addressed this in much more detail here:

Not that I’m defending Walmart, but for the record, I do actually buy quite a few organic products at Walmart. SO not everything they offer is chemically laden. They’ve begun carrying Annie’s Organics, Earth’s Best, Toms of Maine, Jason’s, Earthbound Organics and Newman’s Own, Stonyfield Farms…I could go on like this for a while.
