That is the principle-punish those who disagree with you poitically. <BR/><BR/>Now that is their right of course. But let me ask you huh?, do you share this principle? Should people seek to bring financial harm to those with whom they disagree? <BR/><BR/>I can tell you that this is not one of my principles. In fact, mine is just the opposite. I think we should engage in dialogue with people of different viewpoints.<BR/><BR/>Do you wonder huh? if these teachers will try to pass on this priciple to their students? I would be surprised if they didn't. I think it would be dangerous for teachers to teach children that it is acceptable, even desireable, to try to punish personally their political opponents. I think Hillary Clinton correctly describes this as the politics of personal destruction.Denis Navratilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973310336665077770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-69197145692634071422007-11-16T16:07:00.000-08:002007-11-16T16:07:00.000-08:00i was misunderstood and will try again. you are n...i was misunderstood and will try again. you are not limiting free speech.<BR/><BR/>maybe they were expressing their free speech by boycotting your store since they do not want to support a person or business they do not agree with?<BR/><BR/>it is part of the risk of being visible with your opinions. which do you chose: share your thoughts or make money?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-14441982504392739542007-11-15T20:24:00.000-08:002007-11-15T20:24:00.000-08:00Perhaps they want to support a democratic business...Perhaps they want to support a democratic business owner instead of a 'hegemonic imperialism' backer?<BR/><BR/>;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-35280841600568003552007-11-15T16:01:00.000-08:002007-11-15T16:01:00.000-08:00I am not infringing on their speech am I huh?? I d...I am not infringing on their speech am I huh?? I don't think they are defending the principle of free speech as their speech is not being threatened by me or anyone else. I am a big proponent of free speech. Boycotting my store to defend free speech is like boycotting Sweden to defend liberalism. Please do offer another suggestion.Denis Navratilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973310336665077770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-1461802492851107092007-11-15T15:09:00.000-08:002007-11-15T15:09:00.000-08:00maybe they are just expressing their free speech?maybe they are just expressing their free speech?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-72337710457666247202007-11-15T05:49:00.000-08:002007-11-15T05:49:00.000-08:00I wasn't there and I don't know who they are, othe...I wasn't there and I don't know who they are, otherwise I would ask them.
