the following are evil....

Okay, let me make things simple: McDonalds is going down because it sucks. Plain and simple. The food sucks, the service sucks, the attitude sucks, the prices suck(but not as bad as the rest of it).

Hasn't gone down yet, from what I can see. Yes, it's losing money for the first time in ages, but they probably have an arseload of outlets that aren't making money they could close down before going bankrupt.

I don't like McDonalds much either - it's OK when it goes in, but then it starts getting yucky - but they are useful nonetheless.

I use products made with tanks, fighters, bombs and guns every day: the ability to walk down a street and not be accosted by Nazis demanding to see my papers, the ability to live without being thrown into a gulag because I was a convenient political target, the ability to control my own government instead of having to say "God save the Queen" - if I want to, I can say "screw the queen!". (Dunno who'd want to, but that's another issue.) Freedom always reduces to force against force. Always.

Tanks, fighters, bombs and guns could have and have made the opposite of all that possible as well. What's your point?
