o.O

I don't much like the Big Bad Gov'ment in my internets either, mr. Paul, but giving the control to Buy 'n Large instead is worse!

Also lawl at using "do-gooder" in a derogatory fashion.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

He didn't bring it up. >_> Someone else did.

I don't recall drawing a correlation between Zimmerman's Christianity and his killing Trayvon Martin.

EDIT: I'm not sure why Zimmerman is being called crazy either. Am I the only one who remembers this case of self-defense gone wrong? It wasn't too far back when it sparked national outrage and conservative kneejerk responses. I was sarcastically mocking his blithe usage of "God's Plan", probably an opportunistic ploy for even more support amongst Hannity's conservative audience.

This is a case of self defense gone wrong. If Trayvon Martin was the one with a gun, he may have been able to stop his attacker.

Jim Henson Company cuts ties with Chick-Fil-A over the latter's opposition to same-sex marriage.

I think Jim would be proud. Makes me that much more glad to be a diehard Muppets fan.

Wow. That's pretty awesome. I had all but one of the requirements for Eagle before burning out and then aging out at 18. So I don't have one to send back. But if I did, I would.

Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD.
Protest donations are the best donations.

As I understand it, the BSA is only even like this in the first place because the LDS church gained some sort of major influence over them in the 70's.

I give it a week before some organization with "family" in it's name organizes a protest of all things muppet-related.

It'll be a boycott arms race. Some company will sever its ties with the Muppets, then people will boycott that company, etc. etc.

Pretty soon we'll have two economies, the gay-friendly economy, and the gay-hating economy.

Or at least you guys will. I don't think any Canadian company would join the gay-hating side. Too friendly, as a rule. :P
