Drivel

I will never understand, no matter where you stand on the political spectrum, why this is okay with some people -- and why there is so much silence -- especially from women's groups who ought to come out swinging no matter who -- liberal or conservative -- is on the receiving end of such an attack. Any discussion of a "war on women" (which, in full disclosure, I've never experienced) should also include this type of discourteous, disrespectful drivel.

Enough

I'm pretty well sick of this but...I love Chick-Fil-A...I also love another local restaurant which is run by people who are not of my same faith and who have differing ideas and opinions. I guess, since they hold even stronger beliefs against same-sex marriage, they ought to be boycotted, too? Right? Wouldn't that be the politically correct thing to do?

Personally, I really don't have an issue with anybody getting married, as long as it's between consenting adults -- I think we have a lot bigger problems in our country than who marries who -- but I will defend Dan Cathy's (or anyone's) right to state his beliefs, especially as it has nothing to do with whom Chick-Fil-A hires or serves.

What you believe is up to you so if you don't like what he had to say, then go somewhere else. Easy as lemon pie.

And more chicken for me.

And, don't forget that each Chick-Fil-A restaurant is operated by an individual who is trying to make a living. So, boycott all you want but just remember who you might actually be hurting.

Smart man...

Yuku Issues

 For anyone trying to access LIS, this is the latest message from Yuku:

"Last night, for approximately 8-10 hours, the Yuku network was unexpectedly off-line due to a failure of Amazon Web Services that affected not only Yuku, but many popular web sites like Quora, Pinterest, Dropbox and Heroku. We apologize for this outage, and wanted to assure the community that we had our staff working overnight to bring the Yuku network back online as quickly as possible. According to Amazon, most of the connectivity has been restored, but the impact of the outage on the Yuku network is still being resolved by our engineers. We will provide you with additional updates as they become available and we appreciate your patience as we work to fully restore our network"
