So I know everyone these days is writing about Chik-fil-a and either saying "good for you" or "for shame."  I'm not going to do that.  I'm not going to talk about which side I support.  If you know me then you know darn well which side I support.  And I'm not afraid of you saying you don't like me because of what I believe, I just have something else I want to focus on and if I take a stance on which side I support then you won't listen anyway.  So now that that is out of the way, on with the important thing.

Freedom of Speech works both ways. 

You can't say you support freedom of speech when the second someone says something you don't like you jump down their throat and say they are wrong and evil and stupid.  It doesn't work like that.  The First Amendment is for EVERYONE.  Not just the vocal majority or minority.  I could say something completely outrageous, and within certain limits involving threats, I am protected by the first amendment.  You are welcome to disagree with me.  However, trying to say that I am a terrible person and should not be allowed to say that.  That is where things go too far.  So please, whichever side you support, if you think you are right or wrong, remember that freedom of speech is for everyone...Except pears, cause they are jerks.

Also, on a side note.  The girl in this video is my hero.  She has incredible poise and handles this situation much better than I would have,

For the record, this guy was the CFO/treasurer of a medical supply company.  He is not the former CFO/treasurer.  This video cost him his job.

Yumm...

I really like food.  However, I'm also a pretty picky eater.  Weird, I know.  My favorite foods involve some form of cooked dead animal flesh, but thats not what I'm going to talk about.  Today I'm talking about dessert.  Why?  Because I said so.  So there.

Everyone has their own favorite dessert.  It could be cake, brownies, ice cream or one of a ton of other mouth watering choices.  For me, it's all about pie.  Berry pies to be exact.  Strawberry, blackberry, cherry.  I love them all.  However, pie is also one of those desserts I never learned to make.  Looking back, this may be a good thing as who knows how much pie I would have eaten.  I could say that I love pie because it is the "American dessert," but there are two problems with that.  One, it just isn't true.  I like pie because it tastes good.  That's it.  The other problem is that I don't really think pie is the "American dessert" anymore.  Most places either don't sell it or it comes completely pre made.  So I just feel like it has been overtaken in that category by things like brownies and cookies.  Mostly because people actually MAKE those.  Anyway, that is besides the point.  Actually, I think thats about all I've got.  Sorry if it was boring.  I'm working on something bigger, I promise.

What kinds of desserts do you guys like?  Hope you are all doing well.  God bless!
