Have You Had Enough of Rational Fear?

You should.

Your government is acting lawlessly. 

Covid-19 is not a public health crisis large enough to lose our rights. The degree to which we've lost our rights and the length of time it has lasted means we may have some lasting negative impacts.

When you pop your shoulder - something I know a little about having ripped one apart to the point of needing surgery - the longer it stays dislocated, the more the ligaments stretch, the more it loosens. Shoulder ligaments do not heal themselves so once stretched it remains so unless you tighten and fasten it through surgery.

That's what's happening here with the rights we've secured through blood, sweat and tears. And now apathetic Canadians too docile walking around like blind chickens are all too ready to give some of that up because of Covid.

Lads. We have around 5000 cases! That's NOT an existential threat. Again, we can put implore you shake yourselves out of this irrational mess!

What's happening at the moment is we're in a strange Stockholm Syndrome glass house where something I call Rational-Fear has taken over. 

We've rationalized our fears based on superstition and idiocy. 

Where caution and calm should have been our reaction, we're actually in a perverse universe where we're pretending to be rational and calm with hysterics and fear.

The longer it goes, the more our rights loosen.

And we're going to need one great surgeon to fix it just to get some semblance of liberty back because it won't be 100%.

Don't trade security for freedom. Don't do it.

DON'T.
