Phil,
Amen and amen!!!  I agree with you wholeheartedly!  I would also 
rather speak to a manager or employee and let them know my thoughts 
than just stay away and sulk.  We've often mentioned to employees at 
Sam's Club and Wallmart that we like to say "Merry Christmas," or, 
whatever and when they have said, "Happy Holidays," to them, we just 
say, "Merry Christmas," back.  We still shop there  because of the 
need for relationship and the low prices.
         I feel the same about the homosexual thing.  How are 
homosexuals ever going to know that God loves them if we just stay 
away from certain stores and feel self righteous about it.  That 
sounds like that guy Fred Felps, to me, and he totally turns me 
off.  I'd rather stay engaged and communicate.  I believe that it is 
much more edifying than sitting in a corner in a judgmental huff, 
pointing a finger.
Kathy
