This sets a terrible precedent. It paves the way for a privatization scheme that would eliminate Social Security and replace it with a mandate

I don’t patronize Starbucks, but if I do, I’ll be sure to tell them my name is “Jesus and Mohammed were Gay Married by Buddha.

And am I the only one who thinks that someone who gets this worked up over a fucking coffee cup has no business being allowed to carry deadly weapons?
