Sis Boom Bah Humbug? |
As
anyone who’s watched the ‘frosh week’ video out of Saint Mary’s
University in Nova Scotia should know by now, Y doesn’t always
stand for a generation or the female genitalia. (Read the CBC's coverage here.)
No
one should be surprised that the gang at Saint Mary’s like ’em
‘YOUNG’. The far-left and far-right policies adopted and
legislated by our federal, provincial and even municipal governments
over the past two decades or so have actually created this situation.
So if the people in high places are shocked by rally chants promoting the sexual assault of
minors, well, what in the name of Rehtaeh Parsons’s sleazy teenage
tattoos did they expect?
Let
me elaborate a little....
This
incident can be easily interpreted as a quasi-reactionary statement.
When lobbyists, governments and other ruling bodies prolong puberty
via an illogically increased age of sexual consent, tobacco and
alcohol restrictions, antiquated drug laws, etc, it is only
reasonable to expect those effected to react accordingly. No one with
an ounce of intelligence should have been shocked by this display,
ridiculous as it was. What people are seeing is the behaviour that
was once associated with 11- to 13-year olds being made manifest in
those 17 to 23. When you whack the mole over the head, it merely
pops up somewhere else.
Because
of the prolonged childhood that is being mandated and legislated,
college campuses and many high schools are becoming veritable
pressure cookers—powder kegs of rage, booze, porno, libido and
tobacco, just waiting to blow open. And then they wonder why school
shootings have become such an indelible reality.
It’s
interesting that the participants should reference sexual assault and
underage girls in the same context, for the latter can actually be
the cure for the former in some cases, so to speak. On a personal note, from about the
age of 12 onward, my parents refused to let me date anyone who wasn’t
an intelligent, respectable older student. They feared that the
young boys my age were becoming simply too uncivilized and sexually
violent, owing mainly to the aforementioned restrictions upon youth.
Now I’m an 18-year-old young woman in my third semester at Memorial
University, and I regret to announce that the prurience and sexual
aggression are no longer exclusive to the high-school age level (or
American campuses!). As I mentioned a few months ago on this blog,
the campus is now crawling with ball-cap-wearing savages who think
with their willies, and tattooed airheads who will acquiesce to any
unwanted advances simply in order to look ‘cool’ and maintain
their popularity status. Illegal or not, I wouldn’t be caught dead
down in the campus tunnels at night without my revolver in my
handbag.
Oh, the sheer poetry! Cohen and Dylan must be jealous |
And
now the CBC are reporting that the president of the Saint Mary’s
student union is apologizing and resigning as a result of this
incident. Well, shame on him for caving in to hypocritical pressure!
Unless he’s going back to sixth grade where him and his kind
rightfully belong, Mr Jared Perry should indeed stay on in his
office. We need him to remind us of just how wrong the policies of
the past quarter-century have been. According to the same CBC
news report, two other student leaders are facing “disciplinary
action” as well. It’s lobbyists like the Canada Family Action
Coalition (CFAC) and politicians like Stephen Harper who should be
apologizing and facing disciplinary action. They’ve helped create
such cretins and shaped their reactionary attitudes.
As
for the actual chant/song, my mother insists it’s only slightly
more offensive than some of the official filth she was expected to
recite and sing when she was a member of the Air and Sea Cadets back
in the ’80s.
Typical.
