Subject: McDonalds Coming To Town

Lauren:

You are locking the barn doors after that horse has already been stolen.  It’s already a done deal – nothing you can do about it except refuse to buy anything from McDonalds and encourage your friends to do so.

And, in your opinion I’m sure:  horror of horrors, there will also be a Taco Bell / Kentucky Fried Chicken combo at the same intersection.  Before you go getting all upset – that’s a done deal too.

Personally, I am glad to see the businesses coming to this area.  Lord knows we need the tax revenue.  And – with the price of gas these days, I would love not having to drive so far.  In my opinion – and remember, opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one and some smell better than others – In my opinion, I would love to see a Golden Corral, Applebees and/or Ruby Tuesday too.

And, warning!!!  Sit down before you continue reading!!!  I would also love to see a Walmart!!!  And I can’t wait for the “Mega Mall” to be built on the east side of town.

Increased tax revenues, increased job opportunities and opportunity to shop / eat without selling off a child, niece or nephew to pay for a tank of gas.  Yep.  Sounds good to me.
