If I had to buy gasoline at the same price per gallon that you have to pay for coffee (if you bought enough cups for a gallon), I couldn't afford to drive. And Starbucks' position on Global Warming is absolutely stupid. But on this issue Starbucks deserves a tip of the hat.
They may be wrong in my eyes on some issues but I have to say I agree with Starbucks on this one.
After 31 years of government service, most of that in Law Enforcement and the rest in the military, it goes without saying that I'm a bit conservative. I believe that the Constitution needs no improvement and has certainly been over-interpreted by zealous, liberal politicians and judges. I believe that the United States was founded as a Christian nation but with freedom of religion for all. I believe that efforts to remove God from the government are wrong because the government needs all the ethical guidance it can get. While I like many places on this earth, and have enjoyed traveling and living in those places, I believe that none of them are good as the United States. We have our problems and we are not perfect, but there is a reason that there are long lines of people outside the American Consulate awaiting their turn for a visa just to come and visit. And I know, without a doubt, that there are those, both within and without, who wish to destroy America because of the very success that we have had as a nation. I pray every day that, in the end, we will pass on to our children and grandchildren a nation as great as the one we inherited from our forefathers.
