It's best if those desires are empty of anything except rhetorical flourishes, because then it's easier to persuade yourself (and, apparently, mushy-brained millions) that you've made a difference.

Direct quote:
"Action Items:
"Boycott Wal-Mart & Sam's Club"
Note that that's the *only* action item. As opposed to anything that could be mistaken for a "strange obsession with Jesus." I can only surmise that they wanted to obey some Commandment about taking certain names in vain.
