Now, everybody start yakking about how they will not buy anything from Target and feel good about it and how they used to buy this and that but now they will only buy this. It’s delusional.

Actually I think your gross underestimation of how upset people are about this is delusional. It's not going away, but millions of people are, and they're not coming back.

You know, I could actually believe the precipitous action and the unforgiveness. I’ve seen enough of that shoved back in my own face when I have pleaded for a comprehensive view to be taken.

This is part of the instant gratification internet addicted nation that we are about. They offered a pledge to boycott — not even a petition with an ultimatum, which would involve a patience factor. Tappety tappety tap tap tap BAM and there you are, on the short attention span of the average American. Easy peasy. Due respects paid for how deftly that was worked. (It could be copied. And not just by people that agree with us, however.)

While this is going on, oddly enough I find God leading me in the opposite direction. Especially, to stop getting hung up on the internet or on trends with short fuses. Snap judgments have a way of becoming unfastened, as the old adage went. There may be a rise in general “rest room awareness” with the result that molestations, etc. (even at Target) will actually go DOWN, not up.
