There are many times in life when a company or organization may do something or implement a policy that you strongly disagree with and you may want to do something to make a statement exhibiting this opinion. Generally, one person taking action such as not shopping at a specific store or doing business with a certain company is not going to have much of a long-term impact, but it might make you feel better in the meantime. However, if a large number of people all band together and take action the public can influence the policy of these large corporations, it just might take a heck of a lot of people.

The question though, is just how far would you go to make a statement? At what point is your own convenience more important to you than the statement you are trying to make? I would presume that this would depend significantly on the issue and how strongly you feel about said issue, but it is an interesting point to ponder nonetheless.
