It’s reasonable to assume that the vast majority of Americans process news and data, and calculate that self-quarantining, wearing masks, and social distancing make sense for themselves, their families, and the country.
Free people act out of self-preservation, but they shouldn’t be coerced to act through the authoritarian whims of the state. Yet this is exactly what’s happening.
There has been lots of pounding of keyboards over the power grabs of authoritarians in Central and Eastern Europe, and rightly so.
Yet right here, politicians act as though a health crisis gives them license to lord over the most private activities of the American people in ways that are wholly inconsistent with the spirit and letter of the Constitution.

ReplyDeleteWe are not China, and the population in general are starting to get restless!
If they think stimulus checks from the government is going to appease us, they have another thing coming.
Take a look at the World War One era- we all like to pick on Woodrow Wilson (who was a truly evil individual) but his nastiness only worked because he played on the natural "busy-body"-ness of Americans. Anyone who had a German name, or were German immigrants, or who failed to display the proper amount of patriotism was subject to harassment by the state, but much, much worse harassment by the person down the street. The very same people who, a year before, were happy to not be in the war were suddenly whipped up into a police state frenzy. Its like that line from men in black- A person is smart, but groups of people are stupid".
