Some people have tried to tell me that Cain's (indigenous here in New England) is as good as Hellman's.
It's not.

We must just remember to be tolerant of those poor, benighted souls who prefer Miracle Whip.
Now let's get back on topic before Truman gets mad at me. ...

That would be defeating the purpose of the thread! :laugh: I think the mayo discussion is a good methphor for the bigger picture. Kind of like being from a Chevy family and one of the members comes home with a Ford.
A few years ago the Log Cabin Republican, the "Gay Republicans" made a contribution to the campaign of the current president. It was returned to them. I think they have since accepted their donations, but that just galled me they were treated like that and I asked myself "Why do they put up with that?" Why not become a Democrat? Well, I guess it is the same reason I don't capitulate and move to San Francisco, where I live is my home. I might not always feel welcome here but I am here to stay.

I remember reading about that when the Log Cabin Club had its donation returned. I have to admit, however, that I wasn't quite so sympathetic to the LCR as you seem to have been. I'm afraid my reaction was more along the lines of, "I told you so."

Yeah, I can go along with that Jeff, I am like "I could have told you they didn;t want your money." But I think thier intention might have been to engineer that circumstance so that they world could see them and what they were up against.
