Yes it's cold out.

Yes we got a bunch of snow and ice, rain - got it all ;) ...supposedly things should warm up again a bit ...still not as warm as usual *sigh* - I so seriously need to move some place warmer!!! ha ha ha

It's been a few days since I wrote but I supposed not too much has been going on. My ex turned 50 on Friday so we did the birthday thing on Thursday. We ended up having a very interesting family argument about being prejudice. My ex says he's not. Yeah ok, lol. But he picked up with the boys and you know ...I gotta say, you can sure tell they were raised by me and not him. (That's actually good in many respects.) If he had his way my boys would be believing because they are "white" they are entitled for - hmmm, well I guess "more." Or that white people have more rights or something. What he kept going on about was he wasn't his right to start his day at school saying the Lord's prayer. Ok ...um, he's 50 ha ha ha ...he doesn't see the inside of school any  more!

Anyway, the argument got heated because I told him as a Canadian I personally would be offended if my boys were forced to have to partake in any religous exercise at school. As I told my ex, there are institutions devoted entirely to worship (um, they're called churches) and *that* is where you can worship in a group and say all the prayers you want. Because, you know, as Canadians we open our doors to immigrants from all over the world and that is going to invite a lot of different culture and religions. No one person's rights are more important than anothers. And the best thing about the free world is that you are free to be who and what you want, wooohooo. All of us. Everyone. Not just my ex :P

That argument almost saw the whole evening in ruins, but eventually 4 out of 5 of us figured it was pointless to say one word more - he thinks he's being robbed something because of every other culture in Canada and that the Canadian way is threatened and there's no changing his mind about that. I left it alone after saying the indian me says by your reasoning you have no more right her than any other white culture and that he should go back to Europe ;)
