The best way to make a change in the world is not how you vote, though that matters. Your most powerful influence is where you spend your money. Vote with your very influential dollars. I prefer to buy stuff that is made more locally, uses recycled or reused components or that is organic in origin.
I also choose to not spend money with companies that do harm to us. I've cut out fast junk food because the fatty stuff hurts people. Also, I don't like travelling to small countries and seeing the infection of our monster fast food corps springing up like a rash.
I don't buy products from corporations that put making money over basic morality. Koch industries has spent 50 million denying global warming. Their products include dixie cups, cato institute and lycra. Granted, I don't have use for any of those.
I do tune into Fox 'news' to see which sponsors I need to add to the boycott list. Fair and Balanced with 5 paid commentators running in the Republican president race. 0 Democrats. Are you fooled?
