You have to look at the REALLY big picture.
No, I don't have to look at the big picture when I'm dining out. There is a time and place for everything, and having someone else's political strategy [Gavin for Governor] shoved in my face when I dine out is the wrong time and wrong place for it. Universal health care, which I favor, is an important topic that should not be trivialized by making it a restaurant line item charge and doing so only offends the middle-of-road'ers who might otherwise favor it.

Just because people don't agree with you doesn't mean they are incapable of understanding the issue. (bolding mine)

And now off to OMNI...
