The Biddy

The were couple of biddies on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) Cross Country Checkup phone-in show. One caller wanted marijuana made illegal because she suspected there was a grow-op in the neighbourhood. They did not paint their house, which was hurting her substantial property values and she was afraid they were plotting to kill her. There are lots of things that people choose to do that I think are stupid, e.g.

• getting a tattoo
• piercings
• eye makeup
• smoking cigarettes
• getting plastered on alcohol
• platform shoes
• taking meth
• eating a diet designed to cause diabetes and heart attack
• playing video games for days on end
• caps with the brim in every orientation except the one that keeps the sun out of one’s eyes.

I have no right to play mother. Just because I have no attraction to these activities, gives me no right to make such decisions for others. How could anyone be so conceited they felt they had the right to trump other people’s life decisions. Our two biddies do. That is typical Harper supporter thinking. It is similar to racism.
