Boycott Chicago?

[Bogie]

How many of you are business people who do business with people inside the Chicago city limits - would it be worth it, publicity-wise, to publicize a boycott of that area? I'm very disturbed by the racist decisions which their city council has been making.

Actually I enjoy going to Chicago.

There is something nice about being legally armed where the general populace is not, in a twisted sort of way. The same can be said for Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and New York City.

I'll be in Los Angeles next week, armed and legal. :D

Most of Chicago is not Mayor Daley, his goon squad or gang bangers. A boycott would hurt neither of those two groups but would hurt the average hardworking man and woman in Chicago. Not a good idea.

If it's a city of more than roughly 5,000 people then I've pretty much boycotted it already....;)

A boycott is not really a L and CR issue, esp. when it is so ill-defined.
