What is with all this "we" crap?

If you feel like doing it, do it.

If you don't, don't.

I live over 3000 miles away, so it doesn't really matter for me... I'm just exposing ideas.

Something that I just remembered is a story I heard about a Taco Bell that opened in Arcata, CA over a decade ago. Nobody in Arcata wanted a Taco Bell, most everybody preferred small mom & pop type businesses. So when Taco Bell finally opened, locals setup a table on the sidewalk and started giving away free mexican food for anybody who wanted it. Shortly thereafter, Taco Bell closed.

Here we're talking about coffee. How hard would it be to setup a table in front of Peet's where people could help themselves to free coffee? Not very hard.

Just a thought for you coffee-drinking troublemakers.

ETA: All facts in this story should be 40% accurate since I heard about this a loooong time ago.

Expect the government to use some BS health and safety regulation to fine you $10,000 for that.
