    If people can't be bothered to boycott companies that employ child labour I don't believe for a second they will boycott over hockey.

    I have this ready for tomorrow's ramblings. Great idea, and I think 'boycott' may be too tough, completely. But even 'dialing your business down' with these companies, if a lot of people do it, will make an impact.

    I hear where you're coming from morally, but people support what they support. And as sad as it may be, there are people who get more excited for sports than they do about life issues.

    I can't wait to read tomorrow's edition. I agree, complete boycott is unlikely. At least people know who to target. ;-)

    Note for Tim Horton's addicts:

    Going from a triple-triple to a double-double does not constitute 'cutting back'. Going from 3 large coffees to 4 mediums is also not 'cutting back'.

    I went from an XL each morning to a L each morning...

    ...when they changed their cup sizing.

    I agree people will support whatever cranks their gears. I only mean that if people can't enforce meaningful boycotts surrounding issues like child slavery then I have a hard time believing then something like this will ever happen either.

    I'd be in favour of both causes though if they could happen.

    100% agree. The sad thing is media coverage of the NHL Lockout would beat out any coverage on child slavery.

    Did any of those organized fuel boycotts actually work?
