There is a great article on CNN.com about a Mexican Restaurant in Marshalltown, Iowa, where a customer took offense at this sign.
In an anonymous message, the customer complained that La Carreta had gone "leftist/marxist" (sic) and vowed never to return.
The owner responded by putting up an even larger sign:
As the article explains:
"I am someone who takes something negative and tries to turn it into something 10 times more positive," Medina[the owner] said. "If they don't want us, they should align their ideals and their comments with the food they eat."
Piggybacking on the popularity of the slogan, Medina created a new website where he is advocating to make Election Day a national holiday. He is practicing what he is preaching.
"My goal is to make the elections as just as possible," Medina says. "I a going to close on election Day, and not only pay my employees, but I am going to go and volunteer at the polls."
The whole article is tremendously uplifting. You can read it here.
The customer who objected? Should that person be allowed to do this? Should a person have the freedom to just go elsewhere to eat tacos, and thereby reject the truth? We have an answer, of sorts. We are basically told: "they should align their ideals and their comments with the food they eat." Tacos, as we all know, represent all of the slogans on the sign.
Love to have clarification on the referent of pronoun "they."
