" As a rule, I am generally Starbucks-averse. I don&amp;#039;t like coffee anyway. (I take my morning caffeine rush cold, thanks.) I like it even less when it costs more than five bucks and is served to you with Sarah McLachlan music meeping away at me from a dozen hidden speakers. I make only one exception. In the months between Thanksgiving and Easter, I go very big for their salted caramel hot chocolate, which I would happily mainline, if I could. And now, they&amp;#039;ve even screwed that up. In the spirit of the Holiday season and the Starbucks tradition of bringing people together, we have a unique opportunity to unite and take action on an incredibly important topic. As many of you know, our elected officials in Washington D.C. have been unable to come together and compromise to solve the tremendously important, time-sensitive issue to fix the national debt. You can learn more about this impending crisis at www.fixthedebt.org.  Yes, &amp;quot;in the spirit of the Holiday season,&amp;quot; let&amp;#039;s line up with a bunch of plutocrats who aim, &amp;quot;in the spirit of the Holiday season,&amp;quot; to turn us into a nation of Cratchits while simultaneously acting as a shill for the defense industries. Nothing summons up &amp;quot;the spirit of the Holiday season&amp;quot; like making sure the F-35 is well-protected while zombie-eyed granny-starving becomes the way of the world. I&amp;#039;d rather listen to Sarah McLachlan, thanks. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
