In reply to: Missy 's message, "My email to Frank Blake, Home Depot CEO" on 17:43:02 05/27/11 Fri

I love you, Missy, and this may be unpopular opinion... but, I don't see the fuss. I enjoy the cultural diversity in this country. It's one of the things I love about the USA. Home Depot, like any business, has to cater to their market of customers. If that particular circular wasn't marketing to me, I'd just toss it and not think twice.

Just the same, I applaud you for writing to the company regarding your opinion. Voting with your wallet is definitely an effective choice.

This country is filled with Brits, Germans, Irish, Native Americans, Africans, etc. I can't get too worked up about which language anyone's using. Frankly, I think the Native Americans are the ones who should really be worked up about it. Their entire culture could easily disappear in another century. But, I think you should definitely stand up for what you believe and let big companies like Home Depot know that this issue is important to you. It is the same as voting. Most people don't care enough to do that, either, unfortunately. So, good for you!

Yes! And this holiday is to remember those who gave the ulimate sacrifice to protect our country...The United States of America... whose native tongue is English. I should not have to learn a second language in order to fully participate (i.e. read sales fliers) in commerce in my own country.

And...Memorial Day was not conceived to be a day of shopping.

I agree with you. Home Depot really blew it.
