Thom Hartmann said he won't be spending money on any Disney products
It was on his local morning show from Portland.

I'm joining Thom on this one.

2. Disney is the source of far too many anti-democratic and anti-American
... memes.

Consider: Royalty is to be admired and cheered.
Consider: The best chance a woman has for happiness is marrying well, preferably a Prince.
Consider: Good people are pretty and bad people are ugly.
Consider: 'Nice' animals show human attibutes. (Anthropomorphism - a pathetic fallacy of reasoning.)
Consider: Animals that kill do so with malice. (See above.)

I personally regard Disney as a source of some of the WORST indoctination of children. That most adults are totally blind to the memes shows how effective and long-established Disney has been in doing this.

3. This is slightly off your topic, but I can't start my own thread...
Much of the shooting was done in Canada. You think if Disney really cared about the victims in New York, they would have shot their movie there. At least they would have brought money and jobs to the city that was attacked. Instead, they tried to save some bucks and in so doing showed just how much they don't care about American workers. They outsourced 9/11.

I will never buy anything Disney again.
