A drop in the bucket, a drop in the bucket, a drop in the bucket, a drop in the bucket...

When people say well it's just a drop in the bucket, guess what happens when a lot of people put their drop in the bucket? The bucket gets full.

I was really incensed at this thread and what some people had to say in this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=1008049 Hate is hate, discrimination is discrimination and no matter how you try to justify it, you are part of the problem at most, and at the very least don't care about your fellow citizens when it comes to hate & discrimination. I learned some things in that thread that I will not easily forget and I hope other people don't either.

This video sums it up the best I have seen so far.

and since we are talking about drops in a bucket, here are some people that are using their drops to make a difference.

Chick-fil-A restaurants aren't welcome in a growing list of places.

Big cities Chicago and Boston have made clear they don't want Chick-fil-A. And now college students are using online petitions to demand the chain get booted from campuses of University of Illinois, University of Kansas, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Ball State University, College of Charleston, Wichita State University, and Minnesota State University.

“Because Chick-fil-A's stance on gay rights could create a hostile environment for queer youth and allies, having a Chick-fil-A on campus deeply conflicts with The University of Kansas Mission on Values and the Chancellor's and Provost's personal commitments to diversity at KU,” said KU law student James Castle in announcing the Change.org petition.

Just my two cents, with a lot of other peoples two cents.

3. Teens protest Chick-fil-A gay marriage stance at new O.C. branch

The Chick-fil-A gay marriage controversy spilled into the Southland early Thursday morning, as a large group of teens protested the chain’s perceived anti-gay stance outside a newly opened Laguna Hills branch.

About 70 protesters from the nonprofit group Youth Empowered to Act handed out fliers and asked customers at the Orange County restaurant to make a different fast-food choice.

Activists dressed up as chickens, wore shirts emblazoned with “Gay O.K.” slogans, carried rainbow flags and carried signs riffing on the chain’s “Eat Mor Chikin” slogan. They began arriving at 5 a.m.; the restaurant opened at 6 a.m., said Rich Ferraro, a spokesman with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

At issue: Chick-fil-A’s millions of dollars in donations to anti-gay organizations as well as company president Dan Cathy’s comments last week that the chain is “guilty as charged” of defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

7. We have never gone to Chick fil A

But that was because our dog was freaked out by the cow mascot that was always on the corner.

Now the dog is gone and we have other reasons not to go.
