The fervor that has become one man's opinion on homosexuality has now become a failed assault on the business he oversees. Really people? Does this guy's opinion have such an impact on you that it has determined whether or not you'll eat a chicken sandwhich from his restaurant? Honestly, when was the last time you actually ate there? I bet it wasn't this past Sunday was it? What's been missed in this entire debate/debacle isn't what one man's position is on homosexual -vs- heterosexual marriage, but the position the company has had since its founding. You got it--Christian/conservative. So now someone has an axe to grind because this old guy has been labled a religious zealot.
If you have so much time on your hands that you've researched this company's financial records, you have a boring life. Wouldn't your time be better served trying to make your place of employment more efficient, or perhaps you could spend time helping your fellow man? Perhaps you could adopt a mile and wallow in your pride as you save Mother Earth.
What I find is that people like to blame others for their own problems, or sit and think too hard and long on what might be ailing them, then figure out some strange means of placing blame on someone else for their perceived misgiving. This, my friends, is what I find hilarious in the human condition. And while it is hilarious, at least to me, it's also very dangerous.
I have some very smart friends on both ends of the political spectrum, as well as friends who fall into the middle of the political minefield. It seems the only way to get your point across anymore is to insult someone and then blame someone/anyone for your own shortcoming. But at the end of the day, what really matters is how you've left the world. Is it a better place or is it worse off? What can you do today to make it better? Can you make it better by first becoming better yourself (personally, financially, etc.)?
