A difference of thinking

I gotta say .... I really don't like flying but I'm sure glad I made myself get on that plane because otherwise I would't know that I am a little in love with Amsterdam.

But here are the real issues. Where are all the old people? This a young, vibrant, laid back city. I don't see many seniors or overweight people. And, there are no 'walk' and 'don't walk' signals, let alone traffic signals! Talk about letting people use their critical thinking skills. Bikes just fly by with no one wearing helmets! Babies on the front, friends sit on the back fender side saddle. The air is clean, there is way less 'city noise' and ambient light because there are way less cars. The smell of marijuana wafts from the coffee shops and there is no obvious police presence on the street.

It makes wonder why we feel we have to hold Canadians hands, tell us how to it, when to do it and what not to do. Maybe, we as a population should grow up and demand our government treat us as adults.
