Light parade protest march was offensive

Editor,

I find it highly offensive that the group of people in Polson that oppose the building of a super Wal-Mart would use something like a Christmas parade to express their views. That was in no way appropriate.

My family and I happen to fully support the proposed new Wal-Mart, but we would never stoop to using a holiday event to push those views.

It was a beautiful parade and a wonderful time for families, marred by the handful of people that felt the need to act like they know what is best for everyone in this town.
