Boycott!

Here is my latest list of companies that I am boycotting, with reasons listed.   Although I do not believe that "corporations are people, my friend" their CEO's and other officers have the right to free speech if they wish to be bigoted, intolerant, or hateful.  Likewise, we have the freedom to boycott them for being bad corporate citizens and assholes.  I'm sure this list is incomplete.
