"Amazon is joining other Pacific Northwest companies, including Microsoft, Starbucks and Nike, in support of Washington state's marriage equality bills," Amazon said in a statement released by spokeswoman Mary Osako. "The spirit of these bills is consistent with our longstanding employment practices."I have taken down my Amazon links. I know, the idea that we can investigate each company to see how and what they support is impossible, but this is a pretty public statement. Also, I think it is important to note that we could be better spending our money at a place like Aquinas and More. I always said that if I was going to "support" any companies in return for discounts or "perks" they would have to be a benefit to the readers as well as myself. Amazon, with their public statement, is no longer acceptable in my mind to be a business I wish to support via my blog.
So, let's make this easy...
If you want coffee, buy Mystic Monk.
If you want books and Catholic goods, buy Aquinas and More.

No, no, no, say it isn't so!

I'm glad for the information. Truly.
I deleted a comment. It was impossible to know who the person was calling a rather rude name. Had they been a little more specific, I might have left it.
