=o= The response on the Coors boycott has been most gratifying.
Over 70 people have written requesting further information!

> Is Jym Dyer sure he wants a society in which people organize
> boycotts of people who contribute money to causes of which
> they disapprove?

=o= Regardless of what kind of society Jym Dyer wants, Jym Dyer
lives in a society where a boycott is one of the few choices
available for dealing with powerful organizations like Coors.
It at least has some measure of democracy built into it.

=o= If John McCarthy's point is that any consolidation of power
can be abused, Jym Dyer can't help but wonder why John McCarthy
seems unconcerned about Coors' widespread destruction of the
environment (including the private property of a large number
of citizens), or about Coors funding an illegal and undemocratic
effort to conduct foreign policy by murdering civilians in other
countries.
