Target management can do what Target management wants to do. Consumers
can do what consumers want to do.

> This is true, but trying to include everyone rings a bell for me. We tried to make the kink club in Tucson all inclusive, but that excluded some people. No matter how kinky they may be there are always some people who are offended by the kinks of others. I'm mostly motivated by price, but I do appreciate that they are makina an effort to include everyone, even though they know there may be a price to pay. This campaign reminded me that I bought my last printer from Target, because they gave me the best price on the printer I wanted. My microwave died the other day. Walmart would have delivered one the next morning for $77. I didn't think I could go that long without a microwave so I decided to check the Target store that's even closer. I went over there and bought a 1,000 watt unit for $60.

You can't argue with the logic of graffiti. It is my belief that you
can't possibly include everyone in everything. Putting slow students
with average or above average only negatively impacts the average and
above average students. Overtaxing the rich does not make the poor
richer, natural born males competing with females, etc.
