I plan to follow the boycott, but I can’t help but think of how many people are unaware or unconcerned and will continue to shop on Friday? It needs to be huge to make a real impact. I’ll continue to do my part and spread the word, but color me pessimistic. I guess I’m too much like JVL.

Agree. I suspect that’s why it’s one day; an experiment. A trial balloon. I hope it’s a step on a path to a national strike, assuming things continue to become more dire. Maybe once the Friday boycott happens, the media will report on it? “Media” is a pretty big category and some of them are keeping their heads down in fear, while others are preaching to the converted. It really is a tough environment on the left, compared to the right’s media machine in lock step.
