Respect

Who among us can seriously say that what they have done something that will be remembered for generations to come? If you can, was it so extraordinary that it changed the very course of history? I don't speak of leaving your name etched in some cement or being the head architect of some building, I speak of the veterans of the World Wars.

These are the people that went out to stop a madman who slaughtered millions of innocent people. These are the people who watched their friends and comrades get shot, beaten and blown up just so that we can live in this great, democratic society of today. THAT ladies and gentlemen, is something significant.

So, as I flipped through the TV channels today, I came across CTV News Net and it was doing a story on how a war memorial in Ottawa was desecrated on our nations 139th birthday by some drunken moron. The idiot in question decided that the memorial would be a good place to "relieve" himself from his night of partying.

Now, I'm no stranger to the call of nature during a night of partying (Lord knows I drank my share of alcohol on Saturday as well) BUT, even when I'm drunk as a skunk, I do know the difference between a statue, and a toilet. And believe me, they look nothing alike.

Maybe we should send the guy to Afghanistan and let him get just a taste of what kind of horror our soldiers still have to face to this very day. And when he's scared half to death, he'll probably "relieve" himself on his only good pair of underwear, right there on the battlefield.

This is Falcon, signing off.
