You Can't Be Creative If You're Hungry

Today is Chick Fil A Day.  I'm hugely conflicted about this.  The owner of the company has every right to his beliefs.  On the other hand, I don't want to support his agenda.  On the OTHER hand, CFA is the only fast food place I eat, so should I cut off my nose to spite my face (a/k/a cut off my nuggets to spite my beak?)  


Most CFA locations are independently owned & THOSE owner/managers may not agree with Dan Cathey's views....those people should not be punished for the narrow viewpoint of a man much removed from local stores.  


In our case, the CFA we go to most has hired/currently employs gays (& we suspect one transvestite, not being gossipy, just saying there is good reason to believe).  


Mainly, I think  we need to move on from this distraction & concentrate on the really important problems our country & our world are facing.  


Aren't we a LUCKY country that we can debate whether to boycott a restaurant??  There are many countries where children will go to bed hungry tonight, where many children will die from starvation.  And we're worried about whether to eat chicken or beef.........
