Dear Visionaries:
I love how our true colors can be seen even in the midst of all the =
smoke, though the target issues are a little obscured and hard to hit. =
Some Liberals say to the Christians, "You're ugly!" The Christians =
respond, "Well, not exactly. Look a little closer." The Liberals reply, =
"We don't need to. We'll just ignore your lemonade and your coffee." The =
Christians, smiling smugly, say, "Oh well." Then these Liberals back =
into a corner, sticking their collective tongue out, and they stuff =
their collective nickels into their collective pockets.
But I have one question: even if a small portion of the community =
decided to boycott certain businesses, would that really make any =
difference? To me it seems rather like shooting your pistol up in the =
air, hoping that the bullet will fall on your enemies, not on you. Those =
of you who shun the amazing cinnamon rolls of Wheatberry's, the great =
beers and coffee of Bucers (and the cheesecake, as already mentioned), =
and the very authentic European cuisine of Zume, you're missing out. Be =
that way if you want; the rest of us, Christians or not, will enjoy =
ourselves immensely while you pout. Have fun!=20
Sincerely and respectfully savoring the good life, and the sparring,
Luke Nieuwsma
P.S. For the pastry-lovers: The bread-starter in Zume is an =
eighty-year-old machine brought over from France; you can't get more =
genuine than that.
