With Rememberance Day yesterday to honor the men and women who have fought for our freedom and current way of life, you would think that everyone would respect that day. A friend of mine was at a Tim Horton's in St.Thomas yesterday with his family, out for a morning coffee, when the staff at Timmies announced that there would be a few minutes of silence. With trumpet music playing in the background and all conversations and work stopped, the silence was broken after about 3 minuets with a customer in line who exclaimed out loud something like "this is stupid" and proceeded to walk out of the building.
I find that so conceeded. How pressed must you be to need a hit of coffee that you would disgrace the day and anyone who has fought and died to defend the defenceless? Is it that hard to be quiet and patient for a few minuets of your year to honor the day? I mean like who was dying in those few minutes in which you chose to tap your craving that you had to leave for and not keep your mouth shut.
It was tasteless and childish. I hope that the rest of this guy's life is filled with old coffee and spoiled doughnuts.

how sad for this man.
he forgot to remember.
he wouldn't even be able to drink a coffee freely if it wasn't for those he so ignorantly neglected.
a lesson for us all.
