All this over a name of a building, it's good to see where some peoples priorities lie. And they're protesting it too, how wonderful.

So do the native americans ,the people of India and a few others.

But the same could be be said about France,Spain and lots of others later including the U.S.

Sears is just one of those old guard store lines been in trouble last few years,not as cut throat as Walmart lol.Guess losing your building is part of that.
