#1 Build a SF Friendship Fence.

Endangering Aged Sumatra or Yukon Blend??? Hey, there are limits. Wall 'em up. Starve 'em. Nothing in or out. When the cockroaches stop putting on makeup and propositioning the cops, send in a HazMat Team to make sure it's safe for normal people.

#5 What amazes me is the elitism invovled in this. Build more local coffee shops? If the coffee drinking fans would buy enough local coffee to support such shops they'd be popping up as often as Starbucks.

Anyone that thinks they should be the arbitrator of good taste and have dictatorial powers to ensure their tastes are the only options should be discounted immediately as a child.

#6 Should be few surprises here. Unfortunately, I suspect we'll see more of this type of thing. See web excerpt:

Howard Shultz, the chairman of Starbucks is an active zionist. In 1998 he was honoured by the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah with "The Israel 50th Anniversary Friend of Zion Tribute Award" for his services to the zionist state in "playing a key role in promoting close alliance between the United States and Israel". The Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah funds israeli arms fairs chaired by the butcher of Jenin - General Shaul Mofaz, and the zionist propaganda website honestreporting.com.[1]
Howard Shultz, Chairman of Starbucks. His work as a propagandist for Israel has been praised by the Israeli Foreign Ministry as being key to Israel's long-term PR success [2].

#7 It was just a tiny little bomb, try the BIG one they found across the street from the Starbucks in Malate last March.

#8 The chairman supports Israel, does he? I'm going to start giving pre-loaded Starbucks cards as Xmas/Hanukkah/birthday presents.
