A personal post: On Consumption & Conscience

Last week, I broke my pattern of business related posts and dumped my guts out on at This Mommmy Gig in a post about conscience, and how/if we allow our conscience to determine our patterns of consumption.  This post doesn't belong on this site. However, many of the points I raised, about the power of consumers and our ability to destroy markets for the reprehensible... and create new markets for the praiseworthy is something that any marketer or business should pay close attention to.  This is going to increasingly drive the marketplace within which we all function... and knowing how we will respond to concerns like the ones raised in that article is something to think about.  You can check out the article here and I would really value your input and feedback.   :-)

I love it when our wise business gurus show that their human too. I will go check it out... I'm sure I will gain just as much from your personal reflections as I do from your professional insights.
