Our Society
Values ⇔ Beliefs ⇔ Opinions
Values and beliefs combine with experience to form our opinions. For some, these are often the hardest to share as they cut to the very essence of who, and what, we believe we are.

Chatham-Kent: Kid’s Flag Football League Founder Draws A WTF Municipal Response
If you drive by Lark Park you soon begin to see just how stupid this kerfuffle is. The park is grass. Not wildflowers, not protected prairie, not hidden wetland. It is just a huge dandelion- filled lawn. Jason cuts two bits of it lower than the Municipality does (when it bothers to do it at all).
