On words...
Language means things.
I was just reading an article on NPR about this whole Chick-Fil-A nuggets-for-brains CEO, and what that's done for the company. This isn't really about that.
This is about this quote.
"Since we made that decision there has not been any dilution whatsoever in our business, and as you can see, shareholder value has increased significantly," Schultz said, citing revenue growth in the face of efforts like DumpStarbucks.com, led by pro-family organizations.
I want to talk about the last few words of that little sentence.
There is NOTHING pro-family in these organizations.
These organizations are anti-family.
Pro-family is pro loving, caring home. Where abuse doesn't happen. Where children are safe, nurtured, and healthy. Where children get the education and healthcare they need. Where parent(s) can focus on nurturing them in whatever the home deems important -- spiritual, body, soul, all of it... it's what makes a family grow up and together -- without having to worry about contracts and societal stupidity and bullying and basic human rights. THAT'S pro-family.
You know what ISN'T pro-family? Fighting constantly to destroy someone else's family.
These organizations aren't pro-family. That's like calling a megaphone a silencer.
