Oh ... and in regards to Starbucks ... here is what I wrote earlier ... just to cover all bases ... :-) ...

And as far as Starbucks ... I happen to be there RIGHT NOW! I’m here because I like their super-fast WiFi, the fastest around that I’ve seen, almost beating my own. No one else has it as fast as what I’ve seen here. You see, I go here FOR MY OWN REASONS.
NOW, if someone at the counter ever decided to tell me about some political position of theirs or the company, I would tell them, “I don’t care, I don’t want to talk about it, and I didn’t come here for your political opinion!”. Fortunately ... no one there ever did that for me! ... LOL ...
I go to places for MY OWN REASONS, and if I’m going to be politically involved, I’ll do so at the ballot box and I’ll join some PAC and be active in it.
If I’m going to support some organization ... then I’ll give them MONEY FOR NOTHING ... and use that list that I post in Post #57. If you want to support some organizations ... give them MONEY FOR NOTHING and not “in exchange” for products and services, because you’re giving them nothing if it’s in exchange for something that they do or make!
Cool it dude. Yes even I visit a Starbucks from time to time, when it is expedient. I also don’t go out raving about how wonderful they are and calling those who disagree idiots.
