Not my dog this time folks, I promise you!

I am always impressed by otherwise sane, rational people get so crossed that they take a huge personal risk and make a stand. I have only once really felt like personaly operating a one man boycott. I was sold a RX-7 at a used car dealership and the engine was already blown. I was fully conned. Grrr.

Others I know have created Blogs that act as gripe sites to villify their oppressors or shame the bad-baddies into ‘doing the right thing’. The sister Blog Awake to Dream has often been used in this way, as evil corporations are shamed into not oppressing the downtrodden or disabled:

I entered the store and to my chagrin, the arcanely narrow-minded attendant was behind the counter. Worse still, he recognized me.

Here, I stumbled accross a man in Maple Ridge BC whose dog had been inured by a Canadain Tire (Maple Ridge) employee in te store parking lot. The employee had offered to pay half of the vet bill but later the store managers had told him to revoke the offer on liability grounds. In the meantime the man fixed the dog and found he was unhappy with the way he was treated by the store. His name is Tom Demke and he is a brave, angry man. I am not saying he is sane… I don’t know him and he may be reasonable or otherwise, but still, protesting the Canadian Tire, alone but for his dog. I will answer more questions on this ,via email, for those who are interested.

I applaud you, who fight the man… Fight on. This means you too Jason. Rock On!
