From The Interested-Participant:
(Pittsburgh, PA) The General Conference of the United Methodist Church has decided to join a boycott of Taco Bell because of complaints from Florida tomato pickers that they don't make enough money and are treated badly. Every four years, the church leaders meet to discuss important issues and pass resolutions for action. Current action will be against Taco Bell. It's not clear which fruit and vegetable pickers will prompt the next boycott, but there are many to choose from. There's the banana pickers in Guatemala, the coffee pickers in Columbia and West Africa, the citrus pickers in the Rio Grande Valley, and so on.
And the local folks wonder why I restrict my activity to small potatoes giving and the occasional speech. Enh. I bet we'll see a resolution saying that George W. Bush is the anti-Christ, assuming the leftists in the UMC believe in the latter.
