Chick-fil-A and the kiss-my-ass phenomenon

.
Gadfly and documentary film-maker Michael Moore would love it -- a same-sex kiss-in protest outside Chick-fil-A restaurant outlets. The kiss-in was planned for today.

Chick-fil-A chain owner Dan Cathy said recently he backed a "biblical definition of a family," (by which he seemed to mean no homosexuals need apply) and the restaurant chain was reportedly (no actual figures were released) awash on Wednesday with supportive customers.

Interesting phenomenon, whether from rednecks or academics -- rounding up 'supporting' evidence that a particular point of view is 'right' or 'true' or something similar. The phenomenon posits the notion that if enough people express the same opinion, then, perforce, it must be true. The earth is flat. God is good. Love conquers all. The Bible/Quran/Vedas say so ....

What's the matter with stating your point of view and allowing others to make up their own unimpeded minds?

Bend over and kiss your own ass and stop trying to kiss mine.
