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 rathe 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
