re: #445 palomino

OK, the protesters are not “asking”, they’re “demanding”, or they’re “demanding that Starbucks demand…”, except that they really are asking because they’re in no position to demand anything of a private corp. So what you’re really upset about is that they’re asking impolitely, in the form of a one-day boycott.

And MY point is that a one-day boycott is nothing to get worked up over. It’s a pretty mild form of democratic protest. It’s hardly the “nastiness” that you described above.

It certainly doesn’t rise to the level of the anti woman’s rights, anti science and anti gay bigotry proudly displayed by the GOP. I just wish that the gun control advocates would realize how counter productive their shit is in the current environment and take a goddamned powder.
