Well, I'd join, but then I'd have to join Facebook first -- and I'm not a joiner. Deep waters indeed.

Excellent points, thank you!I'm not boycotting Whole Foods, nor do I have an issue with a private citizen expressing an opinion. However, he didn't write a piece called "My Alternative to Obamacare." The title was "The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare." His credentials followed the piece. He wrote as a representative of Whole Foods, not a private citizen. He brought Whole Foods into the debate, not those who have chosen to boycott.
And he opposed something that many people support. Both sides want their voices heard and are raising them in different ways. Perception counts for a something and seeing Whole Foods scramble to distance themselves from this op-ed helps legislators see that there are other voices besides those screaming "Nazi" at town halls.
Didn't just about EVERY stock close at its highest price in a year on Friday?Whole Foods stock closed at its highest price in a year on Friday. Looks like that Facebook group really had an impact.
Glenn Beck returns to Fox News Channel after a vacation on Monday with fewer companies willing to advertise on his show than when he left, part of the fallout from calling President Barack Obama a racist.
A total of 33 Fox advertisers, including Walmart, CVS Caremark, Clorox and Sprint, directed that their commercials not air on Beck's show, according to the companies and ColorofChange.org, a group that promotes political action among blacks and launched a campaign to get advertisers to abandon him. That's more than a dozen more than were identified a week ago.
My photo got people to do something they publicly admit to not wanting to do.
Hmm....I'll have to remember that.
