How come Target gets to play around with our democracy, but
Edited on Mon Aug-16-10 01:55 PM by hedgehog
we can't play around in their stores?

The first thing these corporations do when protesters show up is call the cops.

2. I have a gift card left over from last Christmas that now I
must go out and spend or else leave money in Target's pocket!

3. Sadly, they were our alternative to Wal-Mart
since between them they squeezed all the local businesses out around here. Looks like we're going to have to wait until we can afford gas to go clothes shopping in another county.

6. Somehow i think you would call the cops
if I walked into your living room at 3 am, and started shouting (i can't sing :P) the lyrics to Tull's Aqualung...:rofl:

if you cannot see the analogy, maybe someone will explain to you private property, and nuisance laws.

7. Oh, I understand about private property laws, but once Target
steps into the public sector, shouldn't those laws be modified? If Target is spending money to talk to us, why can't we talk back?

It's more a rhetorical question.
