IF a church wants to recognize the civil ceremony with a religious ceremony of it's own, THAT is up to the church. The GOVERNMENT should keep it's nose out of the church business.

If the CEO of Chick-fil-a wants to come out and denounce gay marriage - nothing wrong with him doing that. If groups want to protest his actions by boycotting the restaurant - nothing wrong with that, either. GOVERNMENT should not be involved IN ANY WAY.

Go ahead and buy your sandwiches tomorrow. Nothing wrong with that, either - except for the huge amounts of grease and sodium and empty calories in the sandwiches. Those waffle fries do sound good, though.

OMG!!, I agree with every single word you've said here.

The only problem I have with this whole overblown story is the government getting involved in any of this, and agree 100% on your view on this.

Where we part is I don't think the sandwiches are greasy at all, and they are not empty calories because you're getting a bit of a protein fix. You could get a protein fix more efficiently than a Chick-fil-a sandwich, but they're not that unhealthy, I don't believe.

The waffle fries; now those are delicious empty calories........mmmm.

ADMIN - you must make this a sticky Richie agrees totally with Buggy - I am afraid a sinkhole may swallow the entire Villages tonight.

For those too far away from Chick Fil A that want to symbolically support Cathy or have worked up a hankerin for one and for those boycotting and craving one.

Assuming the sinkhole didn't occur. He is a benevolent God!
