Free Coffee at Starbucks Wednesday!

CEO Howard Schultz issued a statement calling for political unity and offering a free tall brewed coffee on Wednesday.

Starbucks is giving away tall brewed coffees Wednesday after CEO Howard Schultz wrote an "open letter to America."

"In 2012, America needs to win the election more than either party does," Schultz said. "It is time now to join together as Americans. It is time, whatever our differences, for us to strive and succeed as one nation—indivisible."

Schultz said the coffee giveaway is intended to "spark the conversation in our stores."

Everyone knows that an egg hunt is an Easter event whether it's called that or not. Everyone know that a holiday tree is really a Christmas tree. Trust me, the atheists and/or non-Christians are not trying to destroy Christianity. First, it would be impossible. Second, it would be too dangerous to us personally. Last, I personally respect other's traditions, but I'm not sure the same can always be said in reverse.

I am good with deleting the word Easter, and would like to see a departure from any emphasis on candy, which only compounds the diabetic epidemic in this country. Sometimes it is good to rethink the wisdom of something simply because it is a "tradition".
