Reply #1: Ha! That's been bothering me this week, too!

Although I knew that the red star was Macy's symbol, it didn't hit me until I was actually in the store yesterday for the first time since the takeover and I saw it everywhere. Shopping bags, signs, everywhere. I thought "Why did they adopt a symbol recognized by so much of the world as having totalitarian connotations?!"

And you know that if you and I are bothered by it, a whole boatload of other people are, too.
