While it is not generally my fashion to conduct boycotts of products, I feel that in this case it is both easy and justified. Why is it easy? Because my local greeting card emporium is loaded with cards of all sorts. Some are made by a company you may know as Hallmark. Occasionally, I like to buy a blank card and (egad!) do the writing myself. Imagine that. Some people do not need greeting cards. Whatever will you do? As for the e-greetings, e this. I can do my e-greeting via cleverly crafted e-mails or by stopping by a place like The Nature Conservancy, who will happily send an e-greeting to the r e cipient of my choice. Free too.
