THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT YOUR MOTHER. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT YOUR FATHER. THEY CAN NEITHER SEND YOU TO YOUR ROOM HOUSE, NOR SHOULD THEY GIVE YOU AN ALLOWANCE. AND IT’S CERTAINLY NOT THEIR JOB TO PROTECT YOU FROM DISEASE. WASH YOUR HANDS. IF YOU’RE VULNERABLE WATCH YOUR INTERACTIONS. AND FOR THE LOVE OF BOB, GROW UP:  Enough with the help

I am in that most vulnerable age bracket for Covid-19. But I’m at least bright enough to avoid a ventilator by freely choosing to social-distance myself to minimize risks, as are the vast majority of Americans. Nevertheless, the government, in its presumed omniscience, demands that everyone must do what the most vulnerable should do – lock down in isolation.

That is an economy killer. A sledge hammer to drive a nail.

If this overwrought control mania doesn’t stop soon, the damage will take decades to correct. To see what it looks like when government refuses to stop violating liberties and controlling lives examine North Korea and Cuba. To think it cannot happen here is to disregard human inclinations about power, and the corrupting influence of control, particularly unbridled control.

-Sarah Hoyt (SF writer, blogger)

The Bigger the Government, smaller the citizen. The Constitution was built to separate and divide the Power of Government. But it works only when those in power follow it – when they don’t, Lawlessness reigns. Thankfully, more and more citizens are starting to yell “BACK IN YOUR LANE”.

Will they listen or do we get to revisit 1776?
