The Cost of Slow Internet

Wouldn’t you like to know who doesn’t want your business?

I’m glad Governor Jan Brewer struck the Ok-To-Hate-Gay law. But, I’m still sad that there isn’t a dependable mechanism for gay-hating business owners to tell us gays to stay away. Not only would I stay away, but I would delight in the Yelp commentary.  The free market could then…
