Politics and Coffee

Howard Schultz CEO of Starbucks say "Starbucks should be a gun free experience" He announces that guns will no longer be permitted in Starbucks stores or in outdoor seating areas Howard Schultz CEO of Starbucks tells people buying stocks with him that if they don't want to support him in his support of gay lesbian marriage to take their money somewhere else For so many people Starbucks is about coffee and coffee is not about rather or not you want to carry a gun with you and coffee is not about rather or not you want to marry a man or a woman and coffee simply is not about politics But For Howard Schultz Starbucks is not just coffee it his his lively hood and if he wants to say My lively hood does not want you walking on it with a gun in your holster that is okay and if wants to say my lively hood says you can marry whoever you want if you don't leave my lively hood alone he can and that is okay people are angry at hie for concerning his business with moral issues rather than money but is it not true that if he wants his business somewhere he can put it somewhere him telling people to take their money elsewhere if they don't support gay lesbian marriage is like him saying Who you want to marry is more important than how much money i am making and him saying if you want to carry a gun don't come to my store is like him saying i care more about the comfort of the majority of my customers more than how much money i can get from you. coffee is universal different people enjoy coffee teenage girls and boys like coffee old people and young people like coffee my four year old brother sits in my lap in the morning and says sissy Emma love you can i have some of your coffee straight people like coffee and gay people like coffee Christians like coffee and pagans like coffee republicans like coffee and democrats like coffee coffee is simply not about politics for those of us who are not using it for lively hood so we should not make it be Parents who like guns and want their kids to go to school take their kids to school even though guns are not aloud on school grounds so people who like guns who want to buy their coffee from Starbucks should still buy coffee from Starbucks if you like your coffee from Starbucks you should buy your coffee from Starbucks rather or not you want to marry a boy or a girl for you, coffee simply is not about politics
