Comment Of The Day: Sheep. All Of You

From Reason:

"It’s not about your health.

When the State tells you it’s safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it’s not about your health.

When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your health.

When the State bans dentists because its unsafe, but deems an abortion visit is safe, it’s not about your health.

When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it’s dangerous, but allows personal lottery ticket sales, it’s not about your health.

When the State tells you it’s dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motor boat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make-up done & hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it’s not about your health.

When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but lets criminals OUT of jail cells for their health – it’s not about your health.

When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor for chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems a liquor store essential – it’s not about your health.

When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting – it’s not about your health.

WAKE UP PEOPLE… If you think any of this BS is about your health, you’re
a fool!! Please open your eyes & stop being lead like blind sheep."

Amen.

I would add to the point about abortions, when the government shuts down Church services and religious celebrations but leaves abortion clinics open.

As I post this, cops arrest two women for trying to keep their business alive from their home.

Cops go home and still get a pay check and get to pretend they 'saved lives'.

If this was a test by government, we failed miserably because I can't understand how this pandemic justifies this irrational madness.

I find myself extremely jaded about humanity at the moment.

If this is all it takes to make sheep out of people God help us.

*******

This has been one of the greatest abuse of civil liberties in my lifetime.

In Italy, the South is still in lockdown despite the fact the cases have been TINY from the beginning (I was in Rome/Naples in March). In Calabria where my father was from – 1000 cases. My mother’s family comes from Molise…..296 cases. Lockdown. The South has about 25 000 cases in roughly a population of 20 million if we go with the Kingdom of Naples as the demarcation Mezzogiorno line. 

But apparently we’re “following the science.”

I want to know what’s going on? Is it blind stupidity? Something more nefarious?

How did we arrive, with all our apparent knowledge and wisdom, to allow our fears of a virus to the point of QUARANTINING THE HEALTHY AND SHUTTING THE DOWN THE ECONOMY?
