As I sip on my cuppa Starbucks Breakfast Blend I find the following entertaining article...

Go get some Starbucks and side with Satan!!!   Yow!!!!

Although my coffee allegiance is for Caffe Ibis <3 I'll feel less guilty about sipping some uber corporate Starbucks next time I'm not near a coffee shop that has Ibis coffee

I only buy Starbuck's coffee, but at the store... It's a whole lot cheaper by the bag than by the cup. every morning = 1 happy man!   (not really, I'm happy whether I have my coffee or not, but I want to promote drinking coffee  ;)

 

I also support Washington State passing a pro gay marriage bill. 

Gay marriage in no way will lessen the institution of marriage, make USA a weaker country or be the demise of the family unit. If anything, it will strengthen all three: committed loving people helping each other, providing stable communities and promote love and acceptance in the family unit.

 

If only these evangelical ministers would promote love instead of building walls, applying labels and promoting seperatioin and hate.

 Here here! I raise my Salt Lake City Roasting Company cup o' joe to that! I wanted to share a letter I found in the Salt Lake Tribune a few years ago by a guy named "Pagan." It's a copy and paste of the letter so there are some spelling errors that I'm not taking credit for. 

 

I've referenced this a bunch to argue AGAINST gay marriage: 

 

Here are twelve reasons against gay marriage:
    1. Being gay is not “natural”. Real Americans always reject un-natural things like eyeglasses, breast implants, and air conditioning.
    2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be “gay”; in the same way hanging around tall people will make you tall. 
    3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of “crazy” behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign amarriage contract.
    4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
    5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears’ 55-hour “just for fun” marriage would be destroyed.
    6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.
    7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
    8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.
    9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
    10. Gays have the same rights as anyone else. They have right to marry someone of the opposite sex which would then stop they’re being gay.
    11. Gays choose their lifestyle. Just like when brunets choose not to be blond despite society’s overwhelming support of blonds, so to, do gays choose to be denied military service and the over 1200 rights that come with marriage.

    12. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Like cars. 

Thanks MatterU,

That is eye-opening!   So much for the Biblical definition of marraige. 

OMG!

I'll proudly drink a Starbucks - even though I think most of their coffees are drug up from the dungeons of ****. (Oh, I'll have a Viente double vanilla frappacino with cinnamon sprinkled on top please). Ok, maybe I'll take back the idea that most of their drinks are from regions unspeakable.

 

 

Let's raise our coffee mugs up and salute Washington state for legalizing gay marriage! (I have a 32 ounce Starbuck's thermo mug!)

My daughter and I went to Starbucks this morning to study and have coffee. We were there for two hours. Most of the time the line went out the door and around the building. Guess that boycott hasn't really took hold here in northern Cali.
