Moose, On the surface, your argument may have merit, but the big problem is that profit does not always translate to greed. YOu may boycott a company who shows a bigger profit margin simply they run a good company and manage it well, while at the same time you reward another company who doesnt show a profit or even loses money due to bad managment. Heck, the company that shows the biggest quarterly profit may even sell his fuel a penny cheaper than the company who runs a shoddy outfit. Remember, those of us who now have 401K"s and retirement packages, are much better served by doing business with companies who run at a profit rather than those who dont, or worse rely on the government to bail them out every time they are in financial distress. Would you want to buycott a well run, profitable company and put them out of business and then allow a company ran by rank amateurs to survive and further dip into the government (you and me) till to keep operating at zero or negative profit? Think about it. Profit is not an evil. If it were, you should not be allowed to gain from your efforts, which is exactly what a salary is. a salary is nothing but a monetary value set for your efforts, and if you give effort, and if you provide talent, you deserve to profit from that effort or talent.
