<DIV>I don't mind boycotting Pepsi. However, don't forget that
Coca-Cola, and other drinks made by them, are the #1 drink to boycott, because
of their hiring hit squads in Columbia (and possibly other countries) to
prevent union organizing.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>David Rovics even wrote a song about them -- "Killer Coke".</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>For details on the Coke boycott, see http://killercoke.org/
"Murder... It's the real thing"</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I don't drink Coke any more, even if someone gives me one free.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If you like sodas, the store/generic brands are much less expensive,
too.</DIV>
