« don't follow me | Main | serious, serious problem with MT 3.14 »
I was alerted only yesterday to the existence of this, and it's perhaps a good idea, but it'd be hellishly difficult to execute even with much more media saturation and planning: a boycott for the inauguration day to protest by boycotting the spending of any personal monies, referred to in the vernacular as "Not One Damn Dime".
Is anyone out there (that is, in the readership of this blog) going to participate in this?

In fact, my entire family of four participated in this action today. None of us spent anything: ate the free school food or packed lunch (opted out of a pre-scheduled workgroup luncheon at a restaurant, too... and told them why), took a thermos of coffee to work, did not buy gas... even postponed using Paypal to pay for an eBay auction. One of us had a car repair and recall fix scheduled for today, but it was pre-paid so no cash changed hands.
I have no idea whether this was in any way effective, but we did our part and felt better about it (although we called it "Not One Thin Dime" since we do have teenagers whose language we are hoping to encourage to the cleaner side...).

It could be greater to understand you if you make an attempt to give longer explanation of your idea. :)
