“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”
― Samuel Adams
“The true source of our suffering has been our timidity. We have been afraid to think... Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write... Let it be known that British liberties are not the grants of princes or parliaments.”
― John Adams
Let me start by saying, Covid is real. It kills people. It should be taken very seriously. Why did I do that? Because in the world we live in, it seems if you have an opinion that differs from the powers at be you need to preface your opinion, “no, I don’t want people to die.”
How did we end up with politicians doing things like closing down a small business by banning outside eating, while allowing a huge Hollywood production across the street to have a huge food tent? It might have something to do with the two quotes above.
Regions, states, cities, small towns, and communities are all different. Yet, citizens are limited and ultimately not trusted to make decisions for themselves. Combine this with a culture where if you have the “wrong” opinion you are silenced, it is a dangerous place to be.
People ask, “why do you questions masks?” I don’t question masks, I question how masks are used and where they are used. I question the data and how it is gathered and how it is determined. Well, I ask questions. And when people get defensive and angry when you ask questions, well, I get nervous. So should you.
Casinos open, churches closed.
Schools closed, Wal-mart open.
Small businesses shut down, big-box stores open and thriving.
Leaders in state capitols and big cities setting standards for small towns and rural communities.
Different opinions shut down and ridiculed.
When they dine in their mansions without masks, remember, they are treating you like peasants.
