1. Um, everything?
They own everything. I like to eat. I like a lot of products I use regularly which I have a feeling would be on any type of list. Am I supposed to go without for 4 years?

We need to keep our strength up.

2. If boycotts hd a historry of accomplishing stuff
I'd be all for it. But they don't really.

Instead I favor disinfectent--keep the sunlight on the Bush Administration, keep informing our friends and associates how they are screwing up and how they are hiding the truth, and what bastards they are.

Plus I really need that new Loony Tunes Collection to restore my spirits.

9. bryant's right, consumer boycotts are historically ineffective
the only boycotts that seem to work are ones where organized labor is involved (union members refuse to handle certain goods)-- but such boycotts are illegal and the union misleaders are too big of wusses to break the law even when its necessary.

3. Why do we keep seeing this sentiment?
... what are you going to give up? I need to feed my family, how the hell am I supposed to boycott things I need for sustenance?

... If we are sincere about a better economy, wouldn't we be better off trying to help fuel it and get more Americans employed?

10. Go for the percentage bottom line hit...
Thats because the people weren't united. We should take advantage of what we have here, further unify and act. Thats the only way to make the beast heel to our commands.

In the alternative:
