i think i missed the train here.......


Is it just me or do people seem to prefer to stave off course from actual issues by making mountains out of truly insignificant molehills?

E.g. a country faces high crime rates - ranking #2 in violence against women. Instead of implementing laws and enforcing protection our beloved parliamentarians choose instead to focus on more pressing issues, such as the all evil short skirts and make up women wear and how they should be banned.

-not to mention the most embarrassing suggestion put forth that women should ‘sit back and enjoy’ being raped-

Not only have incidents like this happened, but repeatedly happens. Instead of pulling together to GOVERN a COUNTRY entrusted upon them by the people, they choose instead to side step uncomfortable issues like the increasing amount of immigrants. Tax payers funds are apparently paying for discussions of individual preference and private affairs instead. How a lady so chooses to dress herself is no business of anyone else. A man’s sexual preference is his own – so long as it brings no harm to any other individual. If 2 individuals wish to hold hands in a park or show some public affection, by all means. Why is it alright to hang/cane a person publicly but not have people kiss/hug publicly? Does this society prefer that it’s children witness more violence and punishment rather than love and affection? The powers that be certainly seem to think so.

And what give them the right to think they can hold themselves way up “there” oh so almightily and lord their “unwavering pillars of morality” at the rest of us?

Stop trying to police people’s mind and freewill and go DO YOUR JOB already. In a country that has everything going for it, it is a shame to see everything wasted on shallow agendas.

Someone should teach governments proper customer service.

No, this is not a piece about how incredibly imbecilic an experience at a government or governments-linked outlet can be. I have come to terms with the fact that peanuts for pay will get you monkeys for the day.

My pet peeve for today has more to do with the wonderful, educated, civilized & cultured individuals sitting higher up the food chain. They who actually have a say in how the country is run, where our tax money goes, and who gets pieces of the national pie.

Perhaps I should explain how customer service is of any concern of these busy, important VVIPs. Last I checked, however high a rank given, are there to service the nation. The nation, the people, ARE the customers – end users of their services and their paymasters by virtue of tax contributions.

I believe a government is an organization of leaders elected by the people for the purpose of serving the people.

The very basic rules of customer service is to ‘Deliver to customers’ needs’ and ‘Exceed Customers’ Expectations’.

To date I have seen little evidence in the government’s fulfillment of the above criteria – have you?
