Jim S. I think we should stand aside and let whoever for whatever reason sell or hold there shares. Boycotting has been an effective way to garnish attention since the beginning of time. Wether they are left, right or middle wing they have a box to stand on just as anyone of us. I do believe this makes up the good old USA. We may not agree but atleast we are allowed to say it anyway we want. I hold Disney as others and will probably not sell regardless of there move. Disney has made its fortune from the pockets of parents with children looking for clean entertainment. To stray from this path throws up flags to a lot of people who own this stock for those reasons. I do wonder however why it took them so long to make a statement since Pulp Fiction has been out for some time. They could possibly have been waiting until the stock reached there sell price before unloading this announcement. Sounds like ulterior motive to me. After all they are selling at a profit no doubt. What would be more than a statement of belief would be to donate there profits to a charity so that they would not feel dirtied by the money they made from Disney stock. I'm falling off my soap box now, Whiskey

I really don't care anything about the sex lives of Disney cast members or anyone else. I like Eisner and have owned Disney since 1984 and have consistently added to my holdings. The bulk of the Baptist rank and file don't agree with some of their leaders and still love Disney, so why polarize them against what is good? I don't hate anyone but do disdain morons. Let's have a little tolerance for other peoples' religious tenets. But let me remind you that we need not tolerate the type of mindless liberal bigotry in evidence here recently. That is anathema to all that is good and right.
