@Russell #7 – whether or not those who support local coffee shops generally like starbucks or not, starbucks existence at various locations actually increases business for the nearby, local, competing coffee stores. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/hey_wait_a_minute/2007/12/dont_fear_starbucks.html

Starbucks is a curious case. The pro-lifers are boycotting, and the pro-choicers are lining up. On the other hand, Starbucks has refused to post signs rejecting coffee drinkers with a concealed gun permit, which has the NRA cheering them and the gun-control crowd jeering them.

On the third hand, those who support local coffee shops generally dislike Starbucks, while those who like corporate chains cheer them.

And then, there’s the whole issue of paying $3 ($4? $5?) for a cup of coffee. I have no idea how that lines up on the left-right axis.

Heh, nice. I wonder what took Kohler so long. Strictly bonus; I have one reason to like something about Starbucks.

“I don’t like Starbucks coffee, but I admire their stand.”

I don’t like coffee all that much, period, but think I’ll go have a cup at Starbucks tomorrow.

Ah, both of those stories are a joy to hear Greg. Sometimes it gets depressing hearing of all the stories of human rights being violated. Between these two articles, as well as the stories I read at http://parentingbeyondbelief.com/parents/ this has been a joyful day!
Thanks!
