Joemygod lays it out here:<BR/>joemygod.blogspot.com/2007/06/gay-protest-at-nyc-russian-embassy.html<BR/>I know you can do research Michael, so I can't really understand why you didn't bother to look beyond a (somewhat misleading, as it turns out) label saying "Russian Vodka" in searching for a high-profile target to boycott. Please keep working on this issue, it's important, but think a little harder before you run off half-cocked and drop the embarassing boycott already! <BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm totally with maineguy on this, but I'm also hoping we can improve the plight of homos in the petroleum-producing nations he mentions before we completely rejigger our energy system...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-9676149720790574852007-06-05T08:25:00.000-07:002007-06-05T08:25:00.000-07:00This vodka thing is fine for publicity, but if you...This vodka thing is fine for publicity, but if you want to hurt Russia, reduce your use of oil and natural gas. All gay people and supportes should be environmentalists - look at the people who have all the oil - Saudi's, Russians, Iran, Texans - all notorious for being anti-gay. It's too bad we can't buy oil only from Norway (world's 3rd largest oil exporter).Pete Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763328295078366302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-34420611210955165682007-06-04T20:16:00.000-07:002007-06-04T20:16:00.000-07:00wait, can someone please explain why Stoli is the ...wait, can someone please explain why Stoli is the scapegoat here?<BR/><BR/>if it is the government's fault for discriminating or for condoning discrimination against gays, why punish a private company?<BR/><BR/>furthermore, if you're dumping Stoli down the gutter, doesn't that mean you're paying to buy it to begin with?<BR/><BR/>is this a joke?Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445383076117601581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-63260690080695431152007-06-04T20:07:00.000-07:002007-06-04T20:07:00.000-07:00So is Stoli state owned?If not, then boycotting St...So is Stoli state owned?<BR/><BR/>If not, then boycotting Stoli simply because it's Russian would be hypocritical.
