almost nobody - but apparently some people are offended if a retailer doesn't run their business exactly the way they want it run - so they cry for a boycott.

Then, there's the perpetually offended, just waiting for a company to do something so they can raise a fuss.

And of course there are the intentionally obtuse, who shoot the messenger rather than look at the message.

Fact: Walmart has altered its marketing to accomodate the politicallly correct crowd (which you seem to accept as positive).

Fact: Searches on Walmart's website for Kwanzaa and Hanukkah go directly to the items you are lookingfor. Apparently this is politically correct.

Fact: Searching for Christmas at walmart.com doesn't take you to the items you are looking for, but, instead, takes you to the reeducation page.

Face it: You favor the politcally correct phrase: Holiday, and I don't.

So very true, there's a complete segment of our population that's devoted to whining and litigation.

However, from my experiences in a family owned retail business some years ago, I can tell you that many small business owner would put out their left eye before they abandon catering to Christmas shoppers. They are some people's bread and butter. Offend people? So hang Hannukah decorations as well. We had a Christmas tree and a menorah in the store.

I've read too much about the man who started Kwanzaa to acknowledge it any further than to say some people celebrate it.

Wal-Mart bashing never goes out of style. I thought you would know that by now. ;)
