I don't claim to sinless nomerci, or without hypocrisy. I follow my conscience as best I can, when I can. It's all anyone can do.

If I can keep a clear conscience by not shopping in some stupid mall (and instead going to some other stupid mall a few miles down the road) so be it.

I am, however, alarmed at of the complacency of some of the posts here, with all of the "people die every day" crap. Followed by the soulless glee of others at the idea of closer access to yet another Gap and Starbucks. It makes me realize why some nationalities really aren't ready for democracy.
