@cambridge, @jeepers, @DwightK: I had a very long reply drafted in response to this letter, but your replies said what I wanted to, in a lot fewer words. Thanks.
I don't want to get into the whole Chick-fil-A debate, but I'll address this question asked by the author of the letter: "Last I looked don’t we all have freedom of speech, or can we only give our opinion when it is line with the left wing?" The answer, of course, is that freedom of speech applies to everyone. If the author doesn't think that conservatives have a right to free speech, he should tune in to FoxNews sometime.
Why on earth has it taken 30 years (!!) for this problem to be fixed -- and that's assuming that it IS fixed in the next month or so? Could it be that the stretch of highway was in a rural area surrounded by few residents with no political or economic clout? Can you imagine how quickly this would have been fixed if the affected area were near the home or business of any prominent politicians or big campaign donors? The residents of that area and the owners of Dairy 224 deserved much better than this.
What's next? Are employees supposed to help shoplifters carry their stuff to their car?? Mr. Torres, I hope that other employers contact you ASAP. You deserve much better than this.
