43. Smokers. Welfare Queens. Immigrants. French. Muslims. Democrats.
No one ever went broke in this country by designating scape goats and fueling resentment. It's what made some of those excesses possible.
I doubt cheeseburgers are in any danger - because who's going to stand in Mac Donald's way? (and i don't want them in danger, mind you)
But whenever there's a controversy, it somehow always gets resolved in the detriment of a group of people rather than the big fat profiteering corporation behind it.
