Your argument is based on the fact that you believe, as Mackey believes, that the heathcare reform bill was misguided. If you believe, as I believe, that it will do basically the opposite of what he thinks it will do, than the boycott of wholefoods was at least partially justified.

At this point, only time will tell who is right. And even then, we might not know, considering how many different ways any once piece of data can be viewed and interpreted.
