Writer's Block: Supersize me

I was explaining to my mother that I don't give money to people who are actively trying to harm me and mine. That means we don't eat at Chick-Fil-A, we don't order Domino's pizza, and we avoid Hobby Lobby.

I also refuse to give to the Salvation Army because of their policies on gays and women. And I don't buy Boy Scout anything, nor let my sons take part. Not that they qualify anyway, since neither of them is a believer.
