Adjust my life around the motives of a business owner? You mean, like go to Burger King or Carls Jr instead of Wendy's? Or to drink Bud, Miller, Becks, Guinness, or tequila instead of Coors? I find it is not that much of a life adjustment or time consuming to reach for one product instead of the other, and I hardly would describe myself as being fanatical. I do not think either of my ex-wives would even use that adjective in describing me. Well, perhaps about helmet laws, but Coors has so many political stances that oppose mine, and their beer does taste like water, so it is easy to find reasons to not drink it.
It is not like I go out actively seeking the political positions of different companies, but when they blatantly advertise their position on an issue, and it is the opposite of mine, you can be sure I will not be supporting their business any longer.
How about these charities that have been discovered to be fronts for the Taliban or their supporters, would you continue to donate money to them after discovering that this is what they do with their profits? Not me.
