> usually coming from people who shop at WalMart and invest in companies like BP (i.e. my in-laws) If one takes a moral stand, must one then take every moral stand? I avoid using Google products because I think they're an unethical company, but arguably Apple is too. Am I obligated to just not use a smartphone?

>Am I obligated to just not use a smartphone? I've met people who would argue "yes." Not sure that I agree with them, though.

When you're boycotting company A for doing bad thing X, but then using the services of company B for doing bad thing X, then that's hypocritical. If company B were doing different bad thing Y, then that's a different story.

  It's not hypocritical. It's called "doing your bit" Just because you can't save the world doesn't mean you can't start somewhere.

    Changing your service provider for bad thing X is not “doing your bit”
