To quote MLKII: “I have a dream!”… “…children play together…” “Free at Last! Great God Almighty, Free At Last!”

But think about that. If all the grands are killed off by government policy…. voila! They can claim they “saved” Medicare, Medicaid, & the Socialist InSecurity Abomination. Fewer benefit receivers in proportion to tax-victims.

Oh, wait, that doesn’t factor in the 20 years employment & then shedding of the gig/contingent/temp economy I was reading about in a couple weeks back, so they’d still have all those involuntarily-retired 40-year-olds to support on basic nonsense income or whatever Nasty & Ocrazio & Bernie & BiteMe & Schmutzie are calling it this week. These illiberal leftists were always a bit actuarially ignorant (willfully?).

I like that conference call image; reveals their character a bit.

Maybe the ACLU should sue Doris Maloy & force her to provide ALL the services her offices are charged with providing?

Won’t happen.

Winner winner Chicken dinner. Strong in Logic is this one.

Dave, good try about the road system, but no sale – it’s a false comparison. The road system is a hundred-years-old-plus system of traffic navigation that evolved from the mutual consensus of free citizens and their elected officials. A government, I emphasize, that functions only “at the consent of the governed” as stated in The Declaration of Independence. So (to use your example as analogy) – a sudden and draconian “law” that repeals the NORMAL speed limits and says you MUST ALWAYS go no faster than 5 miles an hour because “it’s about saving lives” is not easily accepted by free citizens. Soon, such free citizens will see that this 5 mph “law” is killing or causing far more death than the regular speed limit by delaying ambulances and 911 response, premature births that happened on the road, fire trucks responding to a blaze, etc. So the free citizens will begin to rebel. It’s a completely justified and normal response to a repressive “law”, especially in America, which has a historically low tolerance for repression in any form.

We Americans insist on being free and risking our lives – in spite of the risk every time we get into an automobile. Likewise, we don’t “lockdown” all society, destroy the economy, and force everyone to wear Face Diapers for a laughably exaggerated and falsified disease no more lethal than the seasonal Flu.

I add that we’ve all seen ridiculously dangerous intersections, interstate ramps, and road signage that’s been badly designed and is responsible for many deaths over the years. So if you’re relying on “the government” to take care of your safety and your life over common sense and personal responsibility, you’re a very unwise person.

To those on the Commision, how do you know your handler hasn’t already been compromised? The FBI may have let you walk, but they aint the only ones Watching.

Stay home if you don’t like it. Do you disinfect all your clothing and hair before entering your home? Wearing any mask other than a SCBA and doing decon is like putting a chain-link fence to keep out mosquitoes.
Stay home if you don’t like it. How in the hell do you suppose your immune system works? It is working 24/7 to reach equilibrium with everything/everyone you come into contact. How sick will everyone be once we are all again out and about and no one worked out their immune system the way they did before the Shanghai Shivers came along?
My Body My Choice, right?
Stay home if you don’t like it, the rest of us have a Civilization to build and don”t need Social Distance Warriors in our way.

Chris, the only “idiocy” here is the idiocy of falling for a ridiculously exaggerated flu-like disease as an excuse to shut down America. The overall survival rate for C-19 is 99%. If you catch it (and a mask won’t prevent that) and you’re relatively healthy, your chances of dying barely total a fraction of 1%. Also, lockdowns and masks aren’t effective: 66% of the C-9 cases in New York were all in “lockdown” at home when they became infected. New York is still in hyper-strict “lockdown” – yet has thousands more cases of C-19 than Florida, which is generally opening up.

Dem-Socialists are acting as if ONLY deaths from C-19 are important; the recent estimates of death from the economic shutdown (depression, suicide, alchoholism, drug use, delayed med treatments, etc.) are that in ONE MONTH more Americans are dying as have died in the ENTIRE C-19 infection. Yet the Dem-Socialists turn a blind eye to those deaths – so their argument to justify repression “it’s for public health” is totally false.

Let us Americans who want to resume life get America roaring again. Meantime, you sit it out in your “obedience mask” at home if you like.
