I'll be sure to have a Chick-Fil-A when I'm in the States.
What the Mayors of Chicago and Boston are doing is frightening. Not saying they're wrong in their opinions but that they would leverage their power against someone who holds a different view from them is intellectually heinous.
Once again from the top: Freedom of speech.
If I understand it correctly, Menino is preventing Wal-Mart from getting into Boston.
Meanwhile, Rahm Emanuel - you're gonna love this - enlists Louis Farrakhan's Army (noted anti-semite and anti-gay figure of the Nation of Islam) to police the streets of Chicago!
From one of the posters:
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. Their very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be ‘cured’ against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals. "—C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock
I see it everyday in my business.
