People never cease to amaze me. A month or so ago I wrote about the inexcusable behavior of someone who attended a Board of Education meeting and shouted out while someone else was speaking. The meeting following that, the same woman who was so upset because someone had done it to her, repeatedly shouted out while other people were speaking.
Last night seems to have taken the cake. We had a 17 year old high school student speaking about his thoughts on the budget crisis - and an adult shouted out while he was trying to speak. This was a young man who had spent time putting together his thoughts, and is passionate enough about those thoughts that he was willing to miss his own soccer practice to attend a Board of Education meeting and speak (I know this because I have known him for many years). Regardless of whether you agreed with him or not - he deserved the time to be able to speak without interruption.
And there are those who think that teenagers need to be taught manners?! Looks like some adults need to be taught that too.

I call this the WIFFIM factor.

Too bad most of the people in the world think of themselves first and not the bigger picture.
What is your stance?
As I said above, everyone is entitled to their opinion. The problem I have is that there are some people who think their rights are more worthy than someone else's.
ReplyDeleteSo, I guess you can say we agree.
