Random Commuter Observation - "Help! Help! I'm Being Oppressed!" Division

There were two or three grungy Greenpeace types standing around the metro asking people to sign some petition or survey or some such. But when I came by? They looked right through me! Just because I have short hair and was wearing a neat blazer, tie and khakis, they just automatically assumed that I was a rethuglican, a TK-421 in Sith Master Rove's clone army, a worshipper of the dark satanic ChimpyMcHitlerGotYourHaliburtonQuagmireRightHerePalinator.

Yeah, well all of that may be true, but it doesn't make the profiling any less painful!

Then on to Starbucks. I used to get a chocolate croissant with my morning coffee sometimes. Suddenly, however, they stopped selling them. So I started getting what they call a black-bottomed cupcake. Today? They had disappeared, too! Coincidence? I. Think. Not.

Ladies and Gentlemen, what kind of society do we live in where I must go in constant fear of having my opinions ignored and my breakfast pastry preferences systematically snatched away?

AmeriKKKa now truly is a land of shame.

I too have noticed the change in pastries at Starbucks, the lack of black-bottomed cupcakes put me over the edge. What is a morning without a cupcake?!?!

Can we start a petition or something? :)

I'll grow my hair long so they'll let me sign.

In the meantime, I forgot to add that my original morning snack was a bagel. Starbucks changed all that too, of course.
