Boycotting Can Be Hard
Some have suggested boycotting Pfizer, the primary private beneficiary of Kelo V. New London. I could as easily suggest boycotting Crate & Barrel, and it would be easier…
Reading through the list of Pfizer products, at first I was delighted that none of them looked familiar. Then I got to the over the counter list and saw… Listerine. Doh! I use that almost daily, and swear by it. I had no clue that was them. But wait! So is Sudafed. And Zantec. At least those two OTC drugs I buy in generics, which may or may not actually be manufactured by someone else.
I’m sure some of the products there will be familiar to you, and as hard to give up.
