Voting With Dollars

I almost forgot: last night, I made the last payment on a credit card held by MBNA America, and cancelled the card. I had actually considered keeping the card, until I learned that MBNA is a major contributor to the Republican party.

I gleefully cut that fucker up last night. I will continue to actively avoid companies that make such contributions - and inform them when I do so.

I felt bad for the poor phone rep last night, she said, "well, you realize that those contributions don't necessarily reflect the opinions of the company's employees," and I said, "yeah, I do." Oh well.
