as consumers and producers, by buying or refusing to buy…” -Mathieu
This reminds me of the debate over Chick-Fila...BUT I shall
not give a rant or anything of that sort on here, however, I will say I see
both sides. I don't see Chick-Fila as being an 'anti-gay' establishment but an
establishment that was created by a Christian. They support Christian
organizations who are for biblical-marriage (I love this part of English- the
ability to give things negative or positive connotation. Not the point.) I
didn't start eating there until the big ordeal went down, but I didn't stop
eating McDonald's because they are for it. I just had no interest in chicken
because I had it EVERY OTHER DAY IN MY LIFE due to the awesome public school
system. I decided to try Chick-Fila during the time of the ordeal because he
stood up for his beliefs in the face of a possible financial loss. He didn't
conform to society due to peer pressure.
Also, I found out that with every kid's meal you get an ice
dream cone.
So worth it.

This makes me think about a car commercial where the
daughter is on Facebook enjoying her internet-based social life, but she
worries about her mother's emotional well-being because she has only "50
friends"! The mother, however, is off having a GRAND OLE time in her new vehicle
in the wonderful outdoors. While it was only a commercial, the body language
and facial expressions of the two ladies were vastly different. The mother had
life and excitement in her eyes while the daughter had none! The daughter's
body was curled up, lonely.
