Wednesday, December 01, 2004More Target/Salvation Army...None of my opinions about the Target brouhaha have changed, but I would like to remind everyone that if they really want to give to the Salvation Army, they can go here and find out what they can do to help here in the U.S. all the way down to their own communities. And here's a note from the TurkeySis (edited for publication) about that good and worthy organization versus Target: [My boyfriend is] pissed about that because the Salvation Army is one of the groups that helped his family upon their arrival [from Laos], no questions asked obviously about their thoughts on Jesus, no requirements to pledge faith, just help when it was needed and no request for thanks or anything in return. So if a non-practicing Buddhist appreciates the mission of the Christian organization, to what degree is he obligated to show tolerance to Target?Nice point, though my own view remains that if you're upset with Target and want the kettles back, write Target and let them know. Shop somewhere else if you please. But please avoid the demonization bit and, if you're concerned, focus less on getting Target and more on what you can do to help the Salvation Army.
