For sure, what i wrote should not be mekatsin as an attack on Ben Cohen. I, for one, regret that I couldn’t get some ice cream And I’m sure Ben is a very nice fellow. But when we mention major 1% corporations uncritically in connection with the Occupy movement, it is notable and significant. We must be very careful not to accidentally imply support of them.And anyway, I don’t see anything contradictory about saying that we like for Ben Cohen to support Occupy Atlanta and give out free ice cream, and that Ben & Jerry’s is part of a 1% megacorp which is destroying our livelihoods in pursuit of limitless profit. Either half of that message by itself would be incomplete.
