I spent a few hours of my weekend with a group of very intelligent, cultured old acquaintances.
I was quite taken aback when someone asked me very bluntly, "Are you going on strike? It's disgusting!"
I was lost for words, mostly because I had anticipated an 'amicable' evening out!
The grievances were explicit; cashing sick-leave days, too much time off, incompetence, and not understanding that there is no money!
As I started arguing my views against Bill 115, someone changed the subject, purposefully!
But, my opponent's last sentence stuck with me, "They have given you everything!" I suppose, 'everything' is as relative as anything!
Had I read the article a dear colleague had sent me, before leaving the house, I would have had the perfect reply! According to Thomas Walkom of thestar.com, Ontario government is holding a gun to Ontario teachers' head. The fight isn't about saving our lives, but who should pull the trigger.
Apparently, how we die makes a difference to the Supreme Court! Suicide verses homicide! Our one day political protest will cry 'Murder!' I never understood why people prefer to stand where there are cameras. I always thought if I'm murdered, I'm dead. Peu importe, they catch the criminal after I'm gone! The same self-absorbed mentality propels me to cheat when it comes to sorting and recycling!
Today MeMeMe understands, it all makes a difference to those left behind.
If I have to die, I rather it be murder! Accepted and filed!
What have you accepted and filed today?
