The saddest part is that hundreds of thousands of Americans have fought the fiercest wars, whole generations have endured the harshest conditions, to secure individual freedom for their children and their children's children - and now this freedom is being whored away for a few cheap votes and the illusion of having contributed to a better world. This whole issue is much larger than Starbucks. You can hear your ancestors cry in their graves at night, if you listen closely... Maybe it's time to take that eagle off the flag for good, use something more appropriate - you know, that says "domesticated", a Schnoodle maybe?
Don't get me wrong I don't say this to get political - heck I'm not even American, but I feel for you guys and it saddens me to see the idea on which the country was founded upon wither away.
