'are you not the one that dislikes American Express ?' - What on God's green earth - kind of English is that ?? To answer what i think your question is: YES, i don't prefer to use AMEX. I have my own personal reasons as to why i don't. Did i say AMEX is a bad company ? NO, i did not. DO i regard anybody that has an AMEX card as stupid ? I most certainly do not. Do i own stock in AMEX ? SURE DO - indirectly thru BRK. But there are a lot of companies out there we all own stock in, that do things that, for one reason or another, we might disagree with or think are unethical. I don't like MSFT's strong-armed business practices, I don't like 'athletic shoe companies' making their apparel in third-world countries with child 'slave' labor, and i don't like some chemical companies that have factories in third-world countries because they have NO anti-pollution laws. i hope this doesn't make me a bad person, and don't say i am two-faced.
