Ellen DeGeneres and I may disagree on marriage, but I will still shop at JCPenny

I'm up to here with boycotts/buycotts.

Done.

Ellen DeGeneres is talented and witty, and for all of the silliest things on her shows, the dumbest parts are the stars chit chatting. Ellen, herself, she's funny.

It's wonderful she has a companion, she is comfortable living her life with. Awesome.

I can defend marriage and still shop at JCPenny, where she is the new spokeswoman for. Ellen DeGeneres is working, that's her job being a celebrity, selling stuff. How does her being gay directly affect this season's latest apparel? I rather go shopping with her, then my mom!

From Legal Insurection: Welcome to total political war. (on the recent issues of advertisers being pressured to pull ads)

What is happening goes beyond Obama’s call for people to argue with their neighbors and get in their faces. It goes far beyond Bill Clinton’s politics of personal destruction directed at accusers, and beyond name-calling by right wing pundits.

This total war, in which no one is allowed to be non-political and neighbors and clients become mere pressure points, is a dangerous development.

I've participated in boycotts/buycotts in the past, I need to not second guess every indirect decision I make. Some boycotts/buycotts can be justified, but there has to be clear and direct connection with the product/service.
