Boston's mayor, Tom Menino is backing off his threat to ban Chick-fil-A from entering the city. He said that would be an infringement on their rights. The same case holds true for the Alderman in Chicago who at first threatened to ban Chick-fil-A from entering there as well. No public official has the right to abuse his position in office to threaten or bully someone because that person's opinions differs from theirs.....(July 31, 2012 at 8:22 pm)Lion IRC Wrote: I think good business PEOPLE should be allowed to use the maoney they make from being good business PEOPLE any way they like.
Eg. Sergey Brin / Gay rights agenda.
And customers can vote with their feet too - as is THEIR right.
And the mayor and the PEOPLE of Boston can stop the business from entering THEIR city;
As is THEIR right.
(Is there any reason we're putting those words in capitals?)
