Hooray to all the people who took the time to go down to State Street (or what's left of it) and commemorate the worst business decision since New Coke! I will never understand the people who suggest that the protesters should drop this and spend their time arguing about the war or abortion or breast cancer or something. Unless these critics are nuns or monks who spend every waking moment in prayer or serving the poor, chances are they go to sporting events, take vacations, and have hobbies. Is going to a Cubs game as important as abortion or breast cancer? Could the money you spent on a trip to Hawaii have helped starving people? Am I right to assume that because you've done these things you don't care about social issues? No, of course not. FDR was able to collect stamps, vacation in Georgia, and managed to run the country through the Depression and World War II. I think people can handle being meaningful concerned advocates for a better society AND object to what Macy's has done to Marshall Field's.
