About 15 years ago, the Scott Paper Company hired a man named "Chainsaw" Al Dunlap to increase Scott's profit margin. With glee, Dunlap oversaw the closing of Scott's largest production plant near Philadelphia. Thousands of long-time Scott employees were thrown out of work.
I have not bought a single Scott product from that day to this. It was not only seeing the weeping Scott workers on the television, it was reading about Dunlap's smug happiness and complete indifference to the working peoples' plight.
Like so many other posters here, I am affronted by Ann Coulter's remarks about the 9/11 widows. But worse, I am absolutely appalled that she could title a book "Godless" and refer to all liberals as such.
(Speaking of Godless, what deity would appreciate that little black dress? Probably Zeus.)
"Godless" is published by Random House. Random House also publishes Toni Morrison and John Updike. I think "The Da Vinci Code" was also a Random House title.
Never mind. When I go to Amazon, or to Barnes & Noble, I will forever more check the publisher of the book I want to buy. If it is Random House, I will not buy the title at point of sale. I will find a second-hand copy. It's easy enough to do.
This is a personal decision, but if enough people make the same personal decision, Random House could find its profits in the tank.
I support freedom of the press and do not deny Random House the right to publish Ann Coulter's book. However, as an American, I can choose how I spend my money. I choose not to patronize Random House products now and forever more.
