So don't buy certain products. I used to know a certain Jewish science
fiction writer who would never ride in, much less buy a Volkwagen
because of the company's origins during the Nazi regime. Personally, I
watch the running shoes I buy for the same reason,, and read the labels
on things I buy. You may have to be a consumer, but you don't need to be
a mindless one.
