"I would never buy anything from Starbucks," she declares while sipping her Peet's coffee. Excuse me hon, but your ignorance is showing.

y'know that starbucks is becoming the next walmart, right???? ;-)
LOL! Yep, except that it doesn't undercut local business prices to drive them out of the market. It creates the market in the first place, and then it keeps the prices nice and high. ;)
As soon as these "support your local business/success offends me/growth is bad" hypocrites turn in their Volvo, Bianchi, Ducati, Nike, Coca Cola, Microsoft, Apple, Sony, Northface, REI, Whole Foods, Peets, or any other product that they did not make with their own hands or buy from a local artist, grower, tailor, vehicle-builder...maybe we can talk. AFTER they read a book or two and try to get a bit educated on the companies and practices they are bashing, of course.
Nothing bugs me more than ignorance coupled with arrogance.
Oh yeah, and hypocritical "activists" who jump on the latest trendy causes because they are too dimwitted to do any constructive thinking of their own. And who end up doing more damage than good as they hijack causes and sabotage the valuable work that the actual activists, who are conscientious, thorough, well-educated, consistent and responsible, are trying to do.
OK, I'll get off my soapbox now. :)
Wenmei is exactly correct. People who protest Starbucks are hypocrites. The only thing worse than a knee-pad conservative is a knee-jerk liberal. Nevermind the fact that Starbucks made coffee products desirable in the US. Personally, I think that anyone who protests Starbucks really just enjoys mediocrity. They want everyone to be as miserable and unsuccessful as they are. I can't stand it. It's right on up there with people all of a sudden thinking they are an insane genius held back by society after reading Ayn Rand books.
I went to Starbucks this morning. I hated it the whole time.
Not really.
P.S. I'm here now. I guess I can't comment without "registering." Communists.
I've got a bunch of smart-aleck friends. Watch it, or I'll start posting high school pictures... :-)
