Then dont use those corporations services or buy their products if you feel that strongly. That has more impact than anything on sending a message to a business. Again, nobody holds a gun to anybody's head in this country to do business with anybody. No corporation can exist without a customer.

Conservatives tout the free market as the backbone of our economic system but hide the fact that they're stacking the deck to serve their interests. The option of leaving the market alone doesn't exist. Show me someone who's made uber money, and I'll show you how we wrote the rules so that he or she made money. Bill Gates is a super, super rich man because the government granted him a monopoly on his Window's software programs. If I sell you Windows without Bill Gates's permission, he'll sue me. That's not the free market; that's the way we wrote the rules. The government doesn't HAVE to give Gates copyright protection for WIndows; there are other, better ways to finance software development. Ditto this line for prescription drugs.
