Uncommon Logic

“Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” Unless of course you happen to live in Canada where the needs of just “one” can overrule everyone else. Why is that? It’s called “political correctness”.
The United Way raises funds every fall and every fall the kickoff to United Way is heralded by the smell of popcorn in Canada Place. However, this year the popcorn machine has fell silent and odorless to the chagrin of many. You see, all it takes is for one person to complain and a $10,000.00 charitable moneymaker goes bye bye. That’s right someone complained that the smell of popcorn gave them a headache and now no one gets to have it and the UW looses out on $10,000.00. Personally, I would like to tar and feather the person who made this asinine decision. But it just goes to show you what our world has come to. My kids can’t take peanuts, citrus, and other assorted stuff to school because little jonny has an allergy and what if he happened to ingest some. Well maybe little jonny’s parents should tell him not to eat other kids lunches. We have a teenager who is deathly allergic to eggs but we do not expect the world to revolve around him. Since he was a child he was expected to ask, and if unsure not to touch or eat the stuff he was unsure of. The responsibility was on him not on society. We are raising a generation of people who think that society should police everything and that the individual needs to take no responsibility. That thinking is doomed to fail.
