Somebody can voice their opinion on an issue like this and make a formal complaint if they'd like I guess. The main problem is individuals and groups so worried about hurting others feelings that sometimes that causes greater harm than good. Sure, I don't want people to be chewing me out all the time, but an instance like this? Parade organizers shouldn't have canceled the parade to please one parent. That one parent can make their opinion known, and sure, that's fine, but that doesn't mean their opinion is final say.
"I understand your concerns but the majority of citizens enjoy the parade and we see no harm in it."

No, they have to go running in and threatening to sue because they believe their rights are being violated. Why have we become such a whiny, "me" society? What started that? I was always taught, we live by majority rule, not majority rule until the minority whines enough. PLEASE. -----Original Message----- From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Mike Oliveri Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 8:58 AM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] OT: Halloween That's awesome. Here they killed the Halloween parade because one parent (yes, one) complained that it wasn't Christian.
