Mostly, because it made me late for church. BUT ALSO: There are many institutions throughout history that, while innocent on the surface, are the catalyst that leads to divisive and violent political change. One need only think to the chariot matches in Justinian's Byzantine Empire or the revolutionary coffee houses in Bourbon France. In our time, in America's time, this dangerous institution is the double drive thru lane, which has grown in popularity along the same timeline that America has fractured into political tribalism. I do not believe this to be a coincidence. I will speak first to the practical reason McDonalds, in their malevolence, has instituted this perverse system. It has nothing to do with expediting service. Basic logic says that any line which splits and THEN REJOINS INTO A SINGLE CHOKEPOINT does not speed anything any more than a single outlet roundabout. In fact, it's worse than that- imagine a single direction road that goes from a single lane, to a double lane, then back again. The only reason McDonalds uses this system is to make the drive-through lane look one car length shorter than it actually is. It's a scam. As a consequence, for the last four years, each time I wish to buy a cheap burger, I deal with mankind at its foulest. You know who you are. You, the dude in the lifted truck. You, the soccer mom in the Honda Odyssey which somehow compose 45% of the traffic in Winter Garden (Odysseus would be ashamed). You, the tweaker in the 1999 Cadillac with rims and speaker system valued higher than the resale value of your car. You think you've beaten the system. You're just tearing down civilization, one McDouble at a time, like a Visigoth at the gates of Rome or a Leninist cackling as he raises high the head of another member of the bourgeoisie. WHEN YOU GET TO THE DIVERGENCE BETWEEN THE TWO LANES, YOU STOP. YOU WAIT. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THE ALREADY STUPID SYSTEM MAKES ANY SENSE. You think you're the only one who figured it out, that if you ONLY GO AROUND THE CARS IN FRONT OF YOU and go into the right hand lane, in front of the person patiently waiting, YOU'VE BEATEN THE SYSTEM. You are no better than the person who books it down the emergency lane during bumper to bumper traffic. As long as this foul mechanism persists in every McDonalds drive through, there is no hope for this country. As a civic body we are simply not equipped to deal with a moral temptation of this high an order. There will be no healing, no reconciliation, until a trip for a cheeseburger is not laden with social strife.

Quality Healthcare for all citizens enabled by legislature working to provide the same for themselves and their families.

I am starting this petition because Donald Trump is a piece of *insert text*, and I think this is what we should do to him as a punishment.

I am a firm supporter of the pro-life movement, and I believe that one of the greatest obstacles in fighting for the right to life is that there is no clear defining legislature that specifically states when an unborn child is granted rights as a citizen of the Unites States. With this petition, we may all be able to make a difference in our local government by making this solution into a reality.

It is time to STAND UP to our Elected Officials who are not taking us, their constituents into consideration when Voting on a Bill which will affect negatively on a great majority of us.

The Senate was given a 500 page tax bill with written edits to sign within a few hours. This bill which will add an astounding deficit for the future of my children and I want Congress to read this bill. No one could read 500 pages in two hours.

The so called tax bill passed in the dead of night, Friday, December 1, 2017 is a huge transfer of wealth from middle and lower income Americans to the rich. It undermines the individual mandate for the Affordable Care Act, destroys the value of nonprofit organizations, creates a new American aristocracy, eliminates educational tax credits and interest deductions and even opens up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil exploration. Republicans have admitted this abysmal piece of legislation was passed for the benefit of rich donors.

We, the undersigned, are in full support of Mrs. Jennifer Salmon. We are calling on Superintendent Lang and the Chelmsford school district to do the following: 1. Immediately reinstate Mrs. Salmon to her teaching position; 2. Expunge any reference to her administrative leave from her personnel file; 3. Write a public apology to Mrs. Salmon for the unfair treatment she has endured; and 4. Address the ongoing student safety concerns at Harrington Elementary School that parents and teachers have raised. Mrs. Salmon is the democratically elected president of the Chelmsford Federation of Teachers. She must be able to continue to serve as an advocate for students and as the voice of educators in Chelmsford without fearing for her job. She is tireless in her efforts on behalf of students and educators and must be immediately allowed to resume that critical work. The issues raised by this incident also go well beyond Mrs. Salmon. All Chelmsford teachers need the freedom to address concerns in their classroom so they can be effective advocates for their students. We urge the superintendent and school district to work with educators to promote a culture of collaboration and mutual respect. Please join us Tuesday, December 5, 2017 at 5:15pm for a 6pm meeting start time, if you are upset and impacted as we are. Chelmsford Administrative Offices 230 North Road Chelmsford, MA 01824

The president of our country must be healthy both physically and mentally. In the past, presidents have done this voluntarily; it needs to be a requirement. For the vice president as well. This is not a partisan issue. It just makes good sense.
