Miami Tourism Boycott

in principle it's a great idea, but i'm afraid that about 99.999% of the people who vacation in Florida could not give a rat's ass about the FTAA, police brutality, fascism, or corporate tyranny. in fact, they probably overwhelmingly support all four.

That vast majority of rational people would, however, disagree with your particular definitions of those . . . . . . .

travel centers, travel agencies, auto clubs, booking agencies, tourism consultants, airline ticket offices, et al are places where vacation, lodging and travel brochures and promotional materials are displayed and offered.

meanwhile, ed will be working on the 99.999%.

zeke - i didn't offer any definitions of anything in my post, so i have no idea what the hell you're talking about. thanks for thinking of me, though...

I think the boycott is a great idea. My sister was down in Miamia on a vacation with her wealthy boyfriend. He could vacation anywhere in the world but had chosen Miami. They arrived at the beginning of the FTAA protests. Boy was he sorry for that mistake. He got a good lesson in how America works under the Bush regime and never plans to return to Miami. My sister said they shoved guns in their faces and barked orders at them just for being on the street. If it is any comfort to those abused protesters they treated everyone like the enemy, even the tourists.
