-> Why would they choose this particular method to demonstrate their
-> power?
Because Disneyland is a VERY popular place. This gives the group a LOT
of free publicity and shows that a HUGE entertainment company will bow
to their will. If I got Microsoft to change its ways and do everything I
wanted - you would think I was a pretty persuasive and powerful person.

-> KB>  If they were REALLY offended by it they should just

->
-> Tsk, tsk, Mr. Ballantyne.  I believe that Disney is much more
-> interested in customer satisfaction and feedback than that.  :)

Apparently not since they have IGNORED the public who loves the ride
the way it is and have instead chosen to bow to this group that demands
that they change it.

-> I understand what you're saying.  It makes me curious as to how
-> you reconcile the above statements with your religious ministry.
I don't understand your statement. I am not in a ministry that is about
forcing people to participate in things that offend them. I am in a
ministry that distributes free books. If people are offended by the
books they are not likely to ask for them, take them and read them.
I think it's one thing to publish something that MAY offend certain
groups. You have the right as an American to do that. It's quite another
thing to force people to read it. That goes over the line.
