Ted & Ten, RE: "Instead, they too prefer to stay away from those whom they disagree strongly with."

It's one thing to boycott an organization to make a point. But it's another thing to avoid individuals who think differently. You both give the appearance of the later, when Ted said something about avoiding S Baptists and then your statement up above.

I think it's better if people have a wide and diverse collection of friends that think differently.

I have a gun-toting Republican friend that goes completely counter to many of my core values, but we all enjoy hiking together and he does provide different opinions. We respectfully disagree, or we find the humor in it. But I also find it very interesting to see how the rest of the USA perceives things, so to speak. Anytime I want to take a litmus test on how conservative Republicans think, I just ask him. He's really way out there on the right sometimes so it can be quite easy to pull his leg.

RE: "Boycotting Girl Scouts for endorsing SUVs...I still don't see how this applies."

People should boycott on the basis of whether or not an action by a Group violates their value system. Not on the basis of the name of the Group, Party, or Affiliation.
