Chik-fil-A

Now those of you not living in America are possibly unaware of the recent furore regarding the food chain Chik-fil-a.  The CEO recently went public with his rather fundamental Christian views that allowing gay marriage would bring down the force of God on the USA.  Now I'm always a little suspicious of businesmen's tactics, and the effect of this statement drove everyone crazy with boycotts and support groups.  The mayors of Boston and Chicago virtually banned the chain from their cities and the fellow in San Francisco also went crazy.  The fact remains though that we are supposed to be able to speak our minds out here through the first amendment.  It seems however that such speech is only allowed provided it doesn't upset anyone.  Now as to gay marriage I have to say I really don't care as I think they have the same rights to be unhappy and fork over big wads of cash to divorce lawyers as anyone else.

I've never been to a Chik-fil-a in my life, but the other day there was one in the area and I thought I'd go along and support the good old first amendment.  I have to say the place was packed!  Not only that but it was crawling with children who seemed to have been produced by the usual method rather than a specialised adoption agency.  I stood in a very long line and then checked my watch.  Now I'm all for the old first A, but not when I"m hungry.  So I left and went to the Magic Wok next door which was half empty.  Memo to CEO of Magic Wok:  How about a statement that all gays are going straight to hell!  That should beef up sales a lot.
