An excellent idea. What is the advertiser on the most StPaul billboards?
Publicize it, and let us boycott the biz. As they drop off, find the next
highest, and boycott them. It means a constant stream of updates, pointing
the finger, naming names, until they run for cover.

Meanwhile, we can work on getting rid of them, banning them as I read
Falson Heights has done. This will require sweeping out of city councils
all the puppets of the Chambers of Commerce.

Unregulated capitalism has no morality whatsoever. It is up to citizens to
supply, and enforce, a much higher standard. Eternal vigilance is the
price of beautiful vistas.
