how would you feel if macdonalds, burger king and wendy's all came in and
invaded your town and put your favorite restaurants and diners out of
business?  on top of that you have your local newspapers touting how clean
they are, how quickly they serve you food, how high a calorie per dollar
value they have.  none of this would be considered "wrong" would it?

this analogy represents my feelings towards this entire thread.
