While I am not a boycott supporter, I do think the way that Mira and other have gone about this is smart. Making it manageable, providing a list of substitutes for consumers -- this makes people feel like they actually CAN do this and maintain their efforts.
And what's wrong with narrowing focus and choosing just a few of the most egregious companies (as they see it)? I understand your point (why this guy but not that other company?), but it truly doesn't have to be all or nothing...
Again, while I don't support the boycott, I certainly admire the way that these folks have organized themselves and are getting politically active. It's a shame this kind of stuff doesn't happen more often in this part of the world...maybe this will start the ball rolling more in that regard.
