In Dr. Seuss's Horton's Hears a Who, Horton the elephant discovers a tiny planet of living beings on a speck of dust. Other animals urge Horton to throw away the dust speck, not believing that such a tiny world could exist, but Horton refuses. The book ends with this moral:"A person is a person, no matter how small."Write about a current political situation that you think illustrates the idea that even seemingly inconsequential people are important. Use Dr. Seuss's moral as the last sentence of your paragraph. Please cite the source for your information if that applies.

I’m not sure how political this is, but to me it is a big deal. You see, there is this new crave for coffee from a certain coffee shop called Starbucks. This crave is so strong that Starbucks has swept across the nation taking over numerous small-town cafes and coffee shops. These seemingly insignificant morning pit-stops are now being erased from the face of the earth because of a nasty, monopolizing monster that super charges their drinks with extra caffeine in order that its victims will get hooked and buy nothing else. Their caffeine content ranges from 90 mg in the Bottled Frappucino to a total of 330 mg in the Grande coffee. By doing this they are literally causing their buyers to become addicted to their drinks bringing them back over and over again. But what about those little coffee shops? Don’t they matter anymore? They are going out of business because of Starbucks and no one cares except for a select few. Think about the poor owners of the dying coffee shops! They may not be millionaires like the people running Starbucks, but a person is a person… no matter how small.
