RE: Common cause

Merry Christmas Burgy,

I agree that Target has every right to have a policy of nn-solicitation, as
does any business, or anyone for that matter. But that said, it is also
within one's right to boycott even if it doesn't make sense. So, rightfully
speaking neither is right. I suppose it might be better for the far-right
to show the same allegiance to donations if they spoke up against anyone
banning the collection of money for non-christian charities.

>From a news article ....

Far-right religious groups are calling for a boycott of retail giant
Target
to protest its recent decision to prohibit the Salvation Army from
collecting charitable donations with their signature red kettles outside
Target stores, a move in line with the retail chain's general
no-solicitation policy.

This "somewhat left" Christian applauds this policy by my sometimes
opposers (but still Christian brothers).

Finding common cause with those we oppose is always a useful action.

Merry CHRISTmas to all on the list.
