Let them earn a living

Regarding Don Riggs’ recent comments about the Knotty Bodies espresso stand, what is the problem with the new coffee stand at 164th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street?

How smart is the gas station to lease space it to this coffee shop, its owners and employees?

I wish everyone would just let these people earn a living. What they are doing is not illegal. And I applaud them for their effort to make good coffee and make some peoples’ days a little brighter.

If it is too close to a playground, then parents keep your kids away. By the way it is a least 100 yards away. I would guess most dads who have kids at the playground wish they could go get some coffee there.

I would also guess that a high percentage of the females “offended” by the coffee shop wish they looked like the young women working there, had the gutts to do what they do and/or are concerned about what their husbands may think if they frequent it.

And for the “offended” males, I would guess you are concerned about what would go through your mind when getting coffee there, and/or what getting coffee there would cause you to wish you had.

As far as children go, this says a lot about how the “offended” have raised there children. I mean what have you taught them? Have you not taken them to a beach or swimming pool where much smaller clothing is worn by women.

I can honestly say, I am confident enough about the way we raised our children, about my relationship with my wife and my own manhood that, an establishment like this, and all the others in our area, do not pose a threat to my family and close friends.
