Vengeance and other stuff

So there's this story out about a bakery that wouldn't do a wedding cake for a same sex couple and how they're being chastised for it publically.  I have a kind of strong opinion about this but it's not why you may think.  First of all, I fully support ANYONE who wants to get married having that right.  I don't have to live a particular lifestyle to support those that do.  I'm not a military spouse but I fully support and admire military families for all they go through.  Same concept for things like gay marriage....I don't have to BE gay to SUPPORT gay and lesbian marriage. 

With all of that being said, my opinion on the bakery is this.  While I don't AGREE with their approach (not baking cakes for gay marriages), I support their right to HAVE that opinion.  It is their Constitutional right to have their own opinions and to refuse service to whomever they choose.  There are blurry lines now because of laws that prohibit discrimination but people should be able to choose not to bake a cake.  The fact is, there are other bakeries....a lot of them that would be happy to bake the cake for that wedding.  All of this brings me to my actual post for today...

Remember when if you didn't like something, you just did or got something else.  If you're handed a menu in a restaurant, they tell you the specials but that doesn't mean you HAVE to buy the special.  You can buy ANYTHING you want from the menu or even customize it.  You don't have to criticize the other food on the menu...you just pick what you want and order it. It's the same concept here.  It did NOT have to be a public spectacle on the news over this.  Look at the baker and say, "Fine I'll take my business elsewhere."  You don't have to like it or them but you also don't have to ruin their business.

Life has become far too much about vengeance for so many.  It's a "take no prisoners" world.  People that don't agree with you MUST be crushed.  Forget letting karma take care of it...they MUST be crushed.  It's awful in adults but it's being passed on to our kids.  It's ridiculous and beyond crazy! 

Moral?  Think before you destroy something or someone.  Everyone gets their Godsmack and I'd rather WATCH someone get theirs than cause it myself and get their godsmack for them.
