- I cannot think of a more civil (effective) way of protesting than
- an economic boycott. It is unfortunate that such a boycott may
- hurt the wrong people. One way around this is for businesses
- to put signs expressing their position agains Amendment 2 in store
- windows; a standard for such advertising is already in the works.

- PS--Remember the police boycott against "Cop Killer"? Same thing--a
- perfectly appropriate way to express your opinions.
