Corporate America

I wanted to take a minute and vent. If you are not interested in this section of my mind music, please stop reading now.

I have had my belly full of what some of America's larger companies think they can get away with. From the incident at Hobby Lobby with Amy to the more recent incident between my immediate family and Lowe's. I think that the blue collar working people need to make a stand against being treated like second class citizens when in reality, big money making companies would be penniless without the people willing to put in 14 hour days and giving their all to just to make their own ends met. I hope that Lowe's understands that when they represent themselves as a heartless, hateful, irresponsible, and unprofessional business, they will eventually reap what they sow. I know this doesn't sound very threatening, but when you realize how big God is and how small (mentally, physically, and every other 'ally) those people are that think they have the world by the knee caps, it becomes easier to understand how powerful this kind of "what comes around - goes around" theory is and what it means on a much larger scale.

I vow from this moment on to not stand by and allow anyone to disrespect me or anyone I love anymore. I have taken the high road and swallowed my tongue on more than one occasion and I guess I am choking on it now. The worst part is that I should have made this stand a while back. I will try to handle things with grace and dignity, but I simply can't make the promise that I will not demand a certain amount of respect from people.
