I am really, REALLY sick of seeing stickers affixed to stop signs. Stop driving. Stop ecocide. Stop eating animals. Stop defacing public property!
I can understand the mindset of a protestor-type person. To a degree. I understand that they disagree with some things and want them changed — that’s fine, free society, blah blah blah, etc — I just don’t understand why they think they can get what they want by scribbling mispelled manifestos in bathrooms and cutting advertisements to pieces. Do they imagine the Dalhousie (name of group who runs Dalhousie would fit in here quite well — is it the senate?) sitting around a table having a conversation like this?
PERSON 1: “…and that’s all. Any other news?”
A NEW PERSON RUNS INTO THE ROOM, PANTING.
PERSON 2: “It’s horrible! They’ve cut the plastic off of the ad’s in the men’s washroom and written inaccurate statistics on the cardboard beneath! What do we do?”
PERSON 1: “There’s only one thing we CAN do! We’ve GOT to meet their demands and throw another much-needed source of revenue out the window!”
PERSON 2: “I’ll get right on it!”
Ack. These people. You know the type. They drink chai tea and have a pile of pins on their bookbags. They only eat totally organic food. They constantly have at least one petition on the go. They’ve got a sticker on their binder that says “ANARCHY NOW!”
It’s pretty pathetic. Useless even. Why do they bother? The rest of us don’t care, and never will. We’ll eat animals until the cows come home (no pun intended). We’ll drive our cars, because it doesn’t make sense to walk from Cole Harbour. We’ll let the government make it’s own decisions and leave corporations alone. We’ll pay our taxes and hope for the best, or we’ll move somewhere else.
And we will never learn what patchoulli really is.
