I like using Amazon too, but it has gotten pretty damn scary how big and controlling this behemoth has become on commerce.
Yes, BUT I went through this boycotting thing when I worked for the labor union.
I'm not doing it.
It's like when Wal-mart got so huge and everyone whined about them putting the mom and pop shops out of business.
Amazon meets my needs. I live on an island without easy access to large retail stores or any way to tool around to all of them.
It is sooo easy to find what you needs on Amazon and returns are no problem.
It would have taken me days of shopping to do all the Christmas shopping I did on Amazon in a couple of hours.
If someone can prove to me that Amazon kills puppies, I'm not doing the boycott thing.
