While I agree, because I can look at a tree and say the tree is apolitical, who you do business with is not apolitical. At the very core is the question of 'do I agree with this person enough to do business with them'. That is a politically charged question and has to be answered with a yes to do business with someone. When I buy coffee (or chocolate), I make the choice that even though I am not sure the coffee doesn't involve slave labor, I am okay with buying it. Perhaps if I'm completely unaware of the slavery involved or the ineffectiveness of no-slavery certification I can claim ignorance, but that lasts only until someone informs me. So while I disagree with what they were literally saying (because of that tree), I think the more limited message they were (at least in my opinion) meaning has far more truth to it.
