I’m writing the President and my Congressional representative to urge then to get behind the Rural Starbucks Act.
It seems unfair that people in nearby Seattle and other metropolitan centers around the country can easily walk within minutes to a Starbucks several blocks away, whereas I and other rural inhabitants, having chosen to live elsewhere, are denied that kind of ready access to high quality coffee and biscuits (unless we are already, somehow, alert enough to drive to one).
Caffeine is a highly valued part of the American Dream: it increases productivity, safe driving, and the Pursuit of Happiness in general. The Capitalistic system under which we currently must live has no regard for the inherent rights to which we are entitled. They have not been responsive to our demands, nor has the stingy State government.
Therefore, it now falls to Obama and Congress to insure that we have the same opportunities for $6 lattes as do others. We live in double-mocha-with-a-sprinkle-of-cinnamon desserts of almost unimaginable lassitude and buzz-deprivation. We cannot fulfill our trendy potentials as geeks, nor yuppies. We demand equality of baristas and espresso, and we won’t stand for anything less. Won’t you please join me in voicing your support for the Rural Starbucks Act, so I can continue to waste my time online in a more alert state. Thank you.

(not enough coffee this evening - my point exactly!)
