I should write more.

The fact that we're not the same American Amusements has not prevented a few dozen people from sending us hate mail. The boss printed out a few. These are my favorites.
I have just read about your ownership of a hotel that refuse to rent a room to a wounded soldier in England and I am apalled that an American company would be so calloused towards those fighting for our freedoms. How dare you allow this policy to continue! How dare you keep silent over this incident! I am going to research your company, its holdings, and all ventures and then every where I can I will not give you any business and I will inform everyone that I know to do the same. I will do everything in my power to make your bottom line as painful as possible. However, if you stand up and do right by this soldier, his family and all other brave men and women who fight for your freedoms then I will consider ending my actions with this email. Please do right and change the policies of your sub company.
I must be bored. I replied (which is I guess a bit dishonest, as I am not their original addressee).
How's your research coming?
And another, just as ill-advised but considerably less calm:
HI I ASSUME YOU ARE THE SAME ASSHOLES WHICH STOPPED SOLDIERS FROM BEDDING DOWN FOR THE NIGHT AT YOUR ESTAQBLISHMENT IF IT WAS LEGAL ID KILL U VERY SLOWLY BUT SINCE I AM WORTH MORE ALIVE AND YOU ARE NOT I WILL NOT ENGEGE IN ANY FINANCIAL TRANSACTION WITH ASSHOLES SUCH AS U YOUR MOTHER MUST BE PROUD
My reply:
My mother died just under two years ago after succumbing to breast
cancer. A few months earlier when she asked me to teach her to dance
as part of her physical therapy, she complimented me on my strong and
clear skills as a leader.
On my birthday, three days before she passed away, she expressed great
pride in having me as a son and having watched my physical, personal,
and spiritual growth. She even went so far as to request that I
preside over a small family observance of communion that evening,
which I was very honored to do.
She was very proud. Thank you for asking.

P. S. Sadly, I must acknowledge your assertion that I am not "WORTH
MORE ALIVE," as my considerable student loan debt would be canceled in
the event of my death. Hopefully, that issue will not need to become
significant.
I am more amused by this than I probably should be.

| It's zero calorie, it has zero sodium, it's vegetarian, and it's kosher!
Well, three of those are true. Sodium is kind of required.
Bacon Salt
I have ordered some. I'll let you know if it lives up to its promises. (And if it does, I may try lobbying a local supermarket or two to see if they'll carry it. The S&H is killer.)
