This is a thread for only really serious ethics questions. You know, the ones that keep you awake at night.
Take this one, from Egg-noggin in Deepinaharta, Tennessee.
"Dear Lynx: I like egg nog, and I really like it in this cool cup a friend sent me from Arizona because the dark brown of the inside of the cup sets off the off-white of the egg nog really well. Unfortunately... it's a Starbucks cup. Most of my family is die-hard coffee drinkers, and using a cup from St*rb*cks is sacrilege to them."
Dear Egg-noggin: If you're not part of their coffee cult, go ahead and use the cup. Just don't put that disgusting coffee in it. Style always trumps the cult beliefs of family, unless they are trying to kill you to get rid of what they see as a blasphemy.
Also, please send a picture of that cup. It sounds nice.
