As for the remark about slavery, that doesnt even come close to comparing to pet store issues. A nation will not be almost divided and go into a civil war over pet stores. |
One of the things that make this country great is that we can have peaceful protests. It's ok with me if all those pet store that sell puppies go out of business; I hope the puppy mills themselves go out of business, even though they are legal. Humans consciousness over the years has been raised, we no longer treat woman and children as objects, and possessions. Often it's the young, who seem to have a higher sense of what's right and wrong, they aren't so accepting of the status quo. However, I am deeply offended by those groups who think, it's ok to touch another person physically or throw things, on them for any reason, and no matter how important the cause, and I consider them no better than terrorists. In this case, the only persons who were in danger of being hurt were the protesters, this is the difference, they allowed themselves to be vulnerable, and subject to being arrested. They believed the cause was important enough to do this, but they didn't hurt others. Now granted if this were happening daily, I would feel worse for the surrounding stores, but it isn't. I guess in essence you are saying that you don't believe in protests of any kind, no matter how peaceful. I too believe in handing on pamphlets, but that really isn't a protest.
