This guy is no more than a street bully with money. He thinks he is smarter than you and that you should live according to the tenets of his view of morality. Like a grand saloon in a dusty Westerner town, huge storefront facade, very small building in rear.
but, I used to buy frappachinos for my dtr...no longer....and no more gift cards for my adult children..no more fancy mugs from Starbucks overpriced merchandize...
Isn't that the same thing that the left claims about the Koch brothers and why they should be burned at the stake? The only problem is that there isn't a Kochbucks store to protest and boycott.
