Update on walmart boycott
While I have somewhat relented my boycott of walmart. My boycott still stand even though they have become very influential, and I have mistakenly chosen to bank with a bank located inside of them. I was tempted by the convenience of buying something there and unfortunately ending up doing that. Also as many might know the infamous Jimmy Sole of http://jimmysole.com works there so I ended up visiting him although I have still to hear him wish people a Merry Christmas. We will see what happens when it gets closer to Christmas and they start wishing people that "all inclusive" term happy holidays, which usually completely avoids them having to say the word Christmas. Since it has the word Christ in it and is associated with Christians that is has become a political incorrect word. Seems all the Christian holidays and celebrations have been under attack lately, I don't know what is supposed to be so evil about Christian holidays. Like I still will not understand Kirby's email because it seems he was arguing against himself. If Christmas was a pagan holiday with all those connections to different religions then where is the problem it includes more religions and ethnic groups then any other holiday. It would then include Siberians, Caucuses, Celts, Goths, the god baal, and he even says it is a wide wide world. I am so confused I though that business were teaching they needing diversity, where is the secular world's problem with Christmas except for the Christmas aspect!
