Are there ever exceptions to this?
Is there ever a time when someone is patronizing a company and you think they are being a foolish consumer?
Is there ever a time when you feel you cannot avoid telling people that they are being foolish consumers?

I am pretty easy going-I do boycott Wal Mart but I don't preach about it. I am however, very vocal about not buying puppies and kittens from pet stores (unless they are rescue situations like the program Pet smart has) and backyard breeders (which are rampant in my area). Maybe my rant is more educational? Though I suppose I am very vocal about all breeders-I just don't get it
(especially those that are vets.)
I boycotted Exxon for about 10 years after the Valdez spill. I would pass them up even if I was about to run out of gas.
