Working Class

Before I delve into some of the more controversial subjects that I want to touch on, I am first going to talk about something a little lighter, but that I feel strongly about nonetheless.

The working class.

Anytime I hear the phrase "the little people", I just want to scream.

Although many people seek the company and friendship of the doctors and lawyers of the world (and yes they do have their place), it is the "little people" that make the world go 'round.

Take a moment and look around you, look at the floor, the walls, the items within your room. Though they may have been designed by the scientists, and engineers, and architects, those things which you are surrounded by were made by the hands of the working class.

If I were to enter a building where the CEO felt it was only necessary to hire doctors, lawyers, and the "higher-ups" of the world. I'm almost positive it would be a rather unpleasant place. Because if you stop to think about it, without any janitors, it would be filthy, and without anyone working the switchboard, how effective would communication be? And without anyone working in the mail-room, would anyone ever receive their notices?

So my next part is about respect for the working class, someone who works 12 hours a day in a mill is just as important as the neurosurgeon in Children's Hospital. So, a little respect please?

The next time you are in the theatre, or at church, or a restaurant, or what have you, please clean up after yourself. I guarantee you the janitors work many hours a day for very low wages, and it is not necessary for you to make their job harder when it takes you the 5 seconds to throw your trash away.

Welcome!

Welcome and congratulations on choosing SJ Says.

Welcome to a realm of opinions, thoughts, questions, wonderings, wanderings, and wishes.

Here on this blog, I encourage you to post your own questions and thoughts, there is no subject here that is taboo or off-limits.

I will certainly post how I feel on a number of issues, and I like to be challenged on my beliefs, so I encourage you to do so.

However, on that note, I do have a life and am not to be found primarily situated in front of a computer screen, so I do ask your understanding when it comes to my response time.

So I hope you will stay with me on this hopefully cranium-stimulating journey!
