Last Thursday night, on the Trans-Canada Highway, three young people died and one went to hospital after a crash that would not have happened if those in the car had any sense of responsibility. Once again, there is a monument of flowers and poetry on the side of the road to commemorate those who died. Were they heros? No. They were just stupid.

There should actually be a big sign that says "This is what happens when you speed" instead of all of the flowers and sentiment. It seems not three months ago another stupid event happened like this and yet, it is still happening. Why?

We never seem to learn, do we?

Speaking of learning, tomorrow is Remembrance Day here. A day where we remember those who died for our freedom. While I am saddened that people did lose their lives during the wars, weren't these days also to remind us why war is bad? So that it would never happen again? It appears not because war continues to this day.

So, tomorrow, I will remember the veterans but I will also mourn that we have learned nothing from it.

What about freedom? Do we really have it? That is truly debatable.
