Who doesn’t have an opinion about current events? While I have my own, I don’t necessarily like to share them with others because to be honest, I hate getting into heated debates with people. I’m definitely an “Agree to disagree” kind of person. Regardless, here’s some of my thoughts on different newsy subjects that have been popping up lately, in 50 words or less.
On Breed-specific legislation:
Entire breeds of dogs shouldn’t be banned just because of a handful of isolated incidents. Ban the owners, not the breed! I’ve been bit by more small dogs than big ones and have known vicious labs!
On banning big-rigs from using a specific stretch of highway:
Sure it’s faster, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe. Just like jay-walking. You put yourself and others at risk.
On a proposed new mine near Kamloops:
Kamloops needs more “big money” jobs. We can’t survive on minimum wage, and the only places that give us that are industry jobs. People need to stop living in fear. I live near the proposed site and I’m not concerned. (Full disclosure: My husband works for a large open-pit mine)
On Smart Meters:
There’s a lot of controversy surrounding the use of smart meters. I personally don’t care that I have one. I don’t believe that it’s going to cause cancer, give me a third eye, or migraines. People are just too damn paranoid these days and looking to play the blame game.
