I like and buy some of the products that LL Beans sells. Shoes, shorts and casual shirts.

Like everyone, I can choose where I shop or choose to bypass. Mostly I make the decision based on value, quality, convenience, and service.

Every once in a while I will choose not to shop a business that has gone out of its way to support a point of view that I oppose.

Reading this and other threads regarding one business or another... I find it odd that so many people have such hostile feelings and their reasons. It seems that almost no business is immune.

"Boycotting" a store that does not sell hand guns or sells products not made in the USA dramatically limits my shopping choices for clothing, food, electronics, tools, or just about any other kind of gear.

I figure the only loser in that would be me... But it's a free country (for now).
