That is how we brew coffee, it must percolate which is done by
boiling of course at two hundreds and twelve degrees, sea level.
Anything less would require the use of instant decaffeinated for wimps.

| A young woman was about to finish her first year of
| college. Like so many others her age she considered herself
| to be a liberal Democrat and was for redistribution of
| wealth, through taxation funded programs. She felt deeply
| ashamed that her father was a Republican which she
| expressed openly. One day she was challenging her father on
| his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes & the
| addition of more government welfare programs.
| He stopped her and asked her point blank, how she was doing
| in school. She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0
| GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain. That
| she studied all the time, never had time to go out and
| party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time
| for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends
| because of spending all her time studying. That she was
| taking a more difficult curriculum.
|
| Her father listened and then asked, "How is your good
| friend Mary doing."
|
| She replied, "Mary is barely getting by". She continued,
| "She barely has a 2.0 GPA", adding, "and all she takes are
| easy classes and she never studies." "But Mary is so very
| popular on campus, college for her is a blast, she goes to
| all the parties all the time and very often doesn't even
| show up for classes because she is too hung over."
|
| Her father then asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to
| the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0
| GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0." He
| continued, "That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and
| certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of
| GPA."
|
| The daughter visibly shocked by her father's suggestion
| angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really
| hard for mine, I did without and Mary has done little or
| nothing, she played while I worked real hard!"
|
| The father slowly smiled, winked and said, "Welcome to the
| Republican Party."

The daughter sat silent for a moment and then she ask her Dad what kind of
country he wanted to live in. If he wanted to live in a country where the
rich and famous looked down their collective noses at the poor and hungry
and where power and wealth trumps all other things or in a country of
compassion and caring. Where everyone counts. Where everyone not born into
the same socio-economic structure is given an equal chance to be 'all that
they can be in life."

He sat silent.

Then she went on."Dad, you've always raised me to be a good person.to be
sensitive to the feelings and rights of others. I thought those were your
values too".

He dropped his head.

"You see Dad", she went on, "Republicans have always confused a 'hand up
with a "hand out". That's why I'm a Democrat. In the Sunday School you took
me to, we learned that Jesus Christ was kind. Gentle. Remember the 'Widow's
Mite'? That's why I'm a Democrat. I don't think Jesus advocated lying.
Waging war.remember He said 'Blessed are the Peace Makers'? That's why I'm
a Democrat. He would never want to kill people in our prisons or pass laws
that help Wall-Mart avoid health care making the tax payers pay.while raking
in billions of dollars. Would he advocate cutting social programs? I doubt
it. Especially when Republican's are cutting the "hands up" programs.like
Head Start, child care programs, school lunch programs, etc. just so the
wealthiest 1% of Americans can get a tax break? Does that sound right to
you, Dad? It doesn't sound right to me. That's why I'm a Democrat."

Dad sat silent.


"You know Dad, I love you but, while your tax sheltered retirement portfolio
is in order, you need to spend more of your time on your compassion for your
fellow man. After all, that's what we will all be judged for when we meet
our Lord. Not how much wealth we collected on the backs of working folks and
the poor and disadvantaged. That's why I'm a Democrat."


"And" she continued."While I wouldn't give my friend 1.0 point of my GPA, I
would help her improve hers. Would you do the same for someone who is not as
well off as you? I hope so."


"Our party has "a Big Tent" and Dad even you can fit under it. Remember.it's
not what you are that is important it's what is in your heart. That's why I'm
a Democrat."


Dad, welcome to the Democratic Party!"

As Paul Harvey would say, now you know the rest of the story!

Some actual info on the hot coffee deal:
http://www.overlawyered.com/2005/10/...lla_liebe.html

They point out that the coffee-is-too-hot complaint rate was about 1 in
24,000,000.
If you can satisfy 24 million customers before getting a complaint,
you're doing it right.
