"... the CEO of McDonald's can't force you to buy a Big Mac (although CEOs of companies with government contracts actually can do that)."

I recall reading that some McDonald's has actually been used in an ambassadorial function, although I can't recall where. I find that induces delicious cognitive dissonance, far preferable to the Big Macs and McSalads on offer.

I appreciate your pics, prose, and poem. I normally avoid poetry due to the shame my own bad poems avail me, but yours does not share that fault.

Thanks!
