I don't use FB for aesthetic reasons not moral / ethical. But to extend this question, do we have a duty to stop using NYT b/c they use advertising that violates user privacy? To avoid watching Roman Polanski movies? Or the big question, do we have a duty to stop paying taxes b/c our money goes to pay for bombs 'n' guns?

We live in a world where it is very difficult to limit our personal commerce to avoid indirect support for activities and people we may find repugnant. I am reminded of the Biblical parable of 'Render Unto Caesar'. While I applaud those who stand on principle, I do not condemn those (most of us) who find it necessary to separate personal from political.

Yes, we do need to stop paying taxes. The only problem is they put you in prison if you stop. We are slaves.
