Please write Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott a little Christmas note to say that you don't think it's a good idea for Wal-Mart to be selling the video game "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" to our kids.

Sorry, can't get behind you on this one. If the Other Side was writing to Wal-Mart to keep them from carrying Narnia, you wouldn't think the tactic was legitimate.
Freedom means freedom; and you have no idea how the kids who get this will react to it. Yeah, the intention is pretty clearly one we don't approve of - but so what? If intention drove reader response, Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird wouldn't ever be challenged for racism! (And they are, repeatedly.)
Trust the process. Trust the kids. Don't let the Dark Side seduce you away from the pure light of Free Speech and Expression.

I see your point. Not convinced, but...I see your point.
And of course, one could argue that people who shop at Wal_Mart in the first place deserve what they get.
