Napanee is greater for many reasons and reason #3 is that we understand traditional family values. I just don’t understand why some people are so obsessed with desecrating all the work our ancestors put into civilizing this great land.
When my dear mother was a girl society had clear roles and everybody knew them. Nobody questioned it because there was no need. Everybody just knew their place and what they were supposed to do. Did anyone stand around waiting for instructions? No! They knew what they were supposed to do before they were even asked, and if they didn’t they got walloped just like God intended. Spare the rod and spoil the child, that’s what I say!
Children these days are too coddled. They don’t know what’s right or wrong because their parents didn’t tell them. They were told anything goes. Boys can be girls and girls think they can be with anyone they want: even if they’re disgusting old men. And when people rightly tell them they’re wrong they go out and make art about it. Don’t even get me started on art. I’m so tired of people just drawing pictures or writing stories and pretending it’s a job. I work hard at the store like a good woman should. And even if I think I could run the place I know that’s men’s work, just like Dewain said at church on Sunday.
Anyway, I’m tired of these rich playboys swooping in and taking advantage of poor young thirty-five year olds. They’re children! They don’t know what they’re doing! Why if this were Victorian times they’d know better. They’d know that they should marry someone their own age. It was absolutely unheard of until all those dirty hippies in the 1960’s and their free love started questioning traditional values. Those values are there for a reason! Smart men stood on the shoulders of their forefathers and step by step built this great society and it seems like only here in Napanee do we understand that anymore. Not like those gold diggers and artists Brownlow is popping out these days. Lord…
Note: there are a few articles that might have upset Brenda. Certainly this one from Rachael. But this one from Jules didn’t help. Also, this one might have started it. -Eds
