I'm also not trying to argue with you, or be obnoxious, so I hope it's not coming across that way.

As I think about it, for me, it probably comes down to the fact that I'm at a point where I have to separate the business from the politics to a certain extent. I don't have the luxury of picking and choosing anymore and many of my clients are people whose politics is completely opposite of mine. My last paycheck came directly from the pockets of someone who supports many of the conservative causes that I oppose.

So while I get it on the corporate level, on a personal level, I have to hope that there are people who can see the difference between the person and the company or I'm just screwed!

I get you gayla, no worries. I'm in a unique position, as I don't owe my income to anyone. I worked all my life for it and to see some of these businesses taking a stand against social security and other social issues, it makes me mad as hell. So I do have the inclination to study them and do what is right for me. Happy hunting!
