Boycott the inauguration? Not me! I was originally thinking of taking the day off and going down to Washington -- then I saw the price for a ticket, and I don't think I could get close to it without one. The clincher however, was when I heard of this "do nothing, buy nothing on Jan 20" campaign. When I heard about that, I decided that not only will I go to work that day, I'll also write a check out to a faith-based charity. I'd go shopping, but the whole idea of boycotting, or anti-boycotting, can go only so far. I'd only buy something I'd need anyway, the same as what the boycotters will be doing on Friday or Saturday. No one will have missed their business once the week is done.
Funny....I enjoy your blog, I hope you do not mind, I added it to my blog list.
