I don’t know Peter Gadiel, and he apparently knows absolutely nothing about me.

San Francisco hates McDonalds. The Board of Supervisors would ban them from the city if they had the guts. Instead the city's “leaderthings” cower behind radical, senseless rules and regulations – just for the community good, whether the community wants them or not.

Here's another issue that is decided with the mentality of a little girl who just likes fluffy animals. The Animal Rights movement is one of the most violent of the nation.
