Reply #75: Well, I would have been visiting Az since I just left there three [View All]

months ago after living there for two years. I have friends there and one of my family members travels there as he is in the business of buying and selling horses. He also owns a house in Prescott Valley. I would have gone with him when he goes to one of the horse shows but will not do so now, not until this law is rescinded. However, as EFerrari points out, there are other ways of protesting. We also have pets and have been frequent customers of those pet stores, in Prescott and here in Ca. I will definitely be writing to them to explain why we will no longer be customers. We just recently signed up for puppy training classes and pet grooming eg. But there are other places.

I also know that if I were still living there, I would support strong retaliatory action by the rest of the country, as fast as possible. True, it might have affected me, and may affect my friends who are still there, but I think this is one of those times where the greater good has to be considered rather than the immediate impact of swift action to end this before it starts spreading to other states.

Boycotts, while they probably did adversely affect some innocent people at the time, helped end Apartheid in S.Africa. I think even those affected would say that it was worth it.
