Hello
everyone.
As a continuation of the
boycott of New York City I am posting the following:
I am a Graphic Designer
using the Macintosh Computer Operating System. MacWorld is one of the MUST
SEE shows that we go to each year.
Due to the inhumanity to man
and the active destruction of society and community by the city of New York in
the buldozing and selling of commuity garden lots, I am cancelling my plans to
attend MacWorld.
MacWorld was move from
Boston to New York City last year. Then, due to complaints by attendees,
it was to be moved back to Boston MA with a show in the year 2000 in
NYC.
Since my paying for anything
in New York City would, by way of taxes, go to the City of New York, and since I
am
part of the boycott of
anyone or any company that
a Has
headquarters in NYC
b Mainly
distrubutes out of NYC
c
Manufactures in NYC
I can not, pay for a ticket,
or even attend an event that the space would be paid for and hence a city tax
paid.
Therefore, unless the
community gardens are allowed to operate unhampered for at least 20 years from
this year,
and that decision comes
before the 21st of July, I will NOT attend the MacWorld Expo at the Jacab Javits
Convention Center in NYC and urge all exhibitiors, distributors, and prospective
attendees to do the same.
This is a matter of morals,
ethics, and a fight for a beter community, not just the "allmighty"
dollar.
Sincerely
Charles E.
