PRICKS & POLITICS

I know, I know.......... the two go hand in hand a good percentage of the time, but this outburst has absolutely NOTHING to do with Politicians!!!

Rarely do I allow myself to be lured into conversations about Politics........... OR Religion.
This is the case mostly because my Dad (RIP Pops) vehemently advised against it (with specific & valid reason) & more recently because my opinions on such matters are NONE of your goddamn business.

OK, so light conversation on a specific matter may be tolerated by the majority, but seriously this latest situation is becoming harder & harder to ignore, even to the point of NOT using the closest gas station for fear that he who's opinion MUST be heard may be on his shift!!

Here's the scenario..........
Early 20's part time gas station attendant/part time student. (commendable for sure, working & getting an education. Intensely annoying, know it all.......it's a fact)
30 something former businesswoman, immigrant, wife & mother.......(who I may add resembles a throwback from a lost generation on many an occasion) possibly giving off the vibe that I maybe lean to Green or could I possibly be leaning to Liberal or maybe that I have a dysfunction that stops me understanding or even knowing about affairs political, religious & current???
However under NO circumstances could I possibly have conservative values.....Apparently!!

Like I said NONE of your goddamn business, but I urge you...... STOP presuming.

At no point in the past & never in the future will I offer that information to you.

At no point in the past have I asked you to give me your opinion on politics & nor will I, EVER!!

I really couldn't give a shit what you think.

Nor do I care whether you leave the lid up on the toilet, I don't care about your opinion on the weed growers of New Brunswick & I really do not give a fuck if you are studying for a degree in the finer points of needlecraft.

As sure as I am female is as sure as I am that the 4 people in the line up behind me who just finished a long day at work & want to get home for supper & a beer really couldn't give a flying fuck about your opinion either.

What I expect when I enter such establishments is perhaps "Hi, How are you today?", Not for someone to start ramming their opinion on the Prime Minister (Stephen Harper in the case), the leader of the opposition or any other politically involved types on me.
If you want to vote Liberal, go ahead.......... if you want to vote Conservative fill your boots.......
I DON"T FUCKING CARE.

I have my ideals, my opinions & my right to not get involved with your political opinions & ideologies.
Graduate, get a full time job, pay a mortgage for a few years, have 2.4 kids, make the monthly car payment................
Then, maybe strike up an adult conversation with me, relating to current affairs, one that does not involve your blinkered & mislead conceptions of the real world...........

In fact don't bother............I will still want to make my purchase & go home &...................................
I still won't give a fuck.
