we are all greedy

Do you donate to charities? Is this one of the things that makes you a "good person"?

The reality is every cent we spend beyond our survival (food and shelter) is mainly for comfort or entertainment. If you own a TV than you decided that your televisions shows are more important than cancer research. It's like you have $10 to help 10 people but you agree to help 5 and spend the rest on wine gums. Sure it's better than helping nobody but the 5 people who aren't receiving your help are hoping those wine gums are real good.

dead neighbour

A women died on my street just down from my place. She was dead for a week. She was found today. I took a picture of the removal.

For those of you who may think this is morbid, please note the Thunder Bay News guy filming the event in the picture.

Thunder Bay Television....my moral barometer!!!

back in my day

I was having a discussion with a coworker recently. I asked her if she would let her son get his ear pierced. She said that she would not. She also said that she had let her daughter have it done though. Her reasoning was that "back in her day" only homosexual guys would get their ears pierced. I found 2 problems with this.

1. Nowadays this is not the case. Many boys and young men have their ears pierced regardless of their sexual orientation.

2. The "back in my day" excuse is used instead of a logical reason. "Back in my day" gives no reason of the rightness or wrongness of an issue.

I pointed out to her that back in other people's days that she wouldn't be allowed to vote. I guess "back in my day" is acceptable to some, as long is it doesn't hinder their own personal freedoms.
