Starbucks Being Insensitive?

Do you think Starbucks was right in taking down this poster? It originally was put up at the Starbucks' closest to the WTC and was too reminiscent of the September 11 tragedy. After much complaining from their patrons, they pulled the poster from all their stores. I don't think I would have thought twice about it had I seen it in Atlanta or some other place down south. But, since it was so close to the WTC, the context was totally different. Would Starbucks deliberately put it up to capitalize on the tragedy just for a profit?

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
