The Ontario Science Center and the Ruling Class......

First of all, I have been woefully neglectful in updating this blog and to the millions of you out there who hang on every word I write, I apologies.
Last weekend I took James and Evan to the OSC to see the Titanic exhibition, which by the way was extremely well done, the kids enjoyed it immensely. That however is not specifically what brings me to this writing.
The cost was seventy dollars plus some eight dollars to park, not cheap but, money well spent to give the boys a first hand insight into history. Here's what drives me nuts. In this city right now, there is a serious problem with poverty, guns and kids blowing each other away and a bunch of dumb ass morons trying to figure out how to solve the problem.

Here's one idea, make the OSC, the museum and the art gallery free for all kids under 12. Maybe, just maybe a tri to one of these places might end up changing one of these kids for the better. What hope does some single mother of 5 kids with no money have of introducing her kids to anything beyond what’s going on in their street, when it would cost her $200 to take her kids here. The OSC was full of people with money, people who could afford to be there, whose kids weren’t on the precipice of violence. Wrong and wrong....open up these institutions to the people who can least afford it and you may just change a few lives. It's a small step, but it's a step any society which claims to be tolerant and just must make.

Sometimes we are just a society of talk and committee’s, we have a lot to learn and a long way to go.
