Re: I'm turned off by PC retailers (rant)
I am more with KIZ on this one. Private businesses have the right to do anything they want and probably reflect mainstream America or the region that you are in more than we like to admit. It is their business to appeal to as many people as possible and to do so without offending the others. Pretty tough assignment if you ask me.<br /><br />On the other hand, the attempts to wipe out all religious symbols and history make me crazy. I do not believe that it is a conspiracy, although the ACLU is definitely doing its best. I believe that those who support removal of these symbols etc. absolutely believe they are making the world safer for all people. Remember, they are smarter than the rest of us and will save us from ourselves as long as we get out of the way . . .<br /><br />If you think this religion cover up deal through far enough, you must eliminate the word Holiday, many holidays, our Calendar (BC/AD), forget about Weekends as they are then meaningless and without structure. This list goes on.<br /><br />Quoted from some guy who believes in the total elimination of religion from everything. "We should simply forget and eliminate the past as we are much smarter today than all of those who have speculated and postulated about our origins and the need for a moral compass since time began. Those things are not necessary any more because we have now figured out this whole life deal and will gladly tell you how it is if you will put down that stupid book and just listen. If you need to know the difference between right and wrong we will tell you that too as we have determined which rules make sense to us after reviewing all that we have contemplated. There is no need for you to do your own research."
