no ethical dilemma.  going to starbucks won't send you into a moral
collapse.  *not* supporting big corporations just for the sake of their "big
corporation-ness" is never a good reason, in my mind.  starbucks chai is no
good, though, IMO.  too bitter.

i support all things indie, but it doesn't sway me from darkening the
automatic doorways of my local best buy or wal-mart every once in a while.

Hmm. I don't feel good supporting Wal-Mart any more. Which is a shame, since they're so convenient. But when they took a business issue and made a moral stance out of it by refusing to carry a certain prescription drug, when in many places Wal-Mart is the only place some people can get their prescriptions filled, smacks of a level of moral judgement and right-wingedness that I can't support.

And I always liked Target better, anyway.
