A diner in Vermont decided to take part in a local initiative to plant flower beds in the median to prettify the local area I expect. They were rewarded with a street sign that said "Yield for Sneakers Bacon." Sneaker's being the name of the local establishment...bacon being what you serve at a diner pretty much at every meal.
So...a Muslim immigrant who lives in the community decided to complain. Still okay with it...you're allowed to complain...I am not sure why you are personally offended by a sign about bacon. No one said you had to eat it.
Meanwhile the town's Mayor, Katherine "Deac" Decarreau was quoted as saying “The cool part of living in a diverse community is that it’s not always comfortable.” Umm, apparently it is very comfortable if all you have to do is say something offends you and you are off to the races.
I don't make it to Vermont all that often, but the next time I am that way somehow I suspect I will be avoiding this place. After all, sneakers are shoes that were first worn in the inner city. I am offended that this establishment would find it comfortable to name their establishment after the shoes of at-risk inner city kids.
I am also offended that the city seems unable to do anything with the pornography that is in its local bookstores and is offensive to both me and many other church members. You see the slippery slope that occurs when you start to control others speech?
Of course this isn't control because the owners were dumb enough to allow themselves into this. They said they want to serve breakfast, not politics. Well, you should keep up with the bacon then and leave the bull to others because you just jumped in with both feet.
