Boycott Borders

I'm joining the boycott of Borders and sending back my Borders Rewards card. Read this piece in the Hartfort Currant to find out why. A quote:

Borders, which also owns Waldenbooks, announced last week that it would not carry the April-May issue of Free Inquiry magazine, which contains the Danish cartoons that offended many in the Muslim world. Though there have been no reports of direct threats against stores carrying the magazine, a Borders spokeswoman says the decision was "based on the potential for a compromise of the safety and security of our employees."

As Andrew Sullivan put it: "[V]iolence against free writers and artists gets results. We have all but invited more."

UPDATE: It turns out, you can cancel your Borders Rewards membership online. This is what I did.
