No, I do not agree because pop is one thing that every child likes. It is not that cheap, and they should be allowed to have something good that isn't going to break the wallet.

Gettysburg Address Porject

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent the idea of suicude, conceived in depression and self-loathing to the proposition that they were worth nothing. Now wer are engaged in a great sucide condemnation, testing whether that nation or any nation so depressed and so self-loathing can survive. We are met in a great battlefield of the sucide war. We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The sucidal men, dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."

1.) I think Kmart can do whatever they want, but I really don't think Kmart is so important of a store that they will get all that much business to make a difference. I really think if it was more of the workers complaining that they wanted to spend thanksgiving day with their families then it would be a different story.

2.) In the U.S. you can't get married to the same sex, but I don't feel that they discourage gay relations.
