The current situation is one type of issue that helped spawn 2% clubs.

Not really O/T but...
The "social distance" is definitely, positively NOT far enough apart. Best medical evidence shows a cough or sneeze spreads droplets as far as 20 feet.

Let us say this is true. We are all shopping at a big box store or where ever indoors. Just one carrier coughs or sneezes. We are all wearing masks. We are told masks do not protect us. Masks protect others. The buildings we are shopping in all have ventilation systems. 6 feet ???? How about the cough or sneeze is everywhere ???

At least in Kentucky we can go to the liquor store, but we cant go to Church, we cant get a knee replaced but you can get an abortion, we cant go to school, but you can go to planned parent hood

Pretty much the same here in Ohio Larry. It is not about the safety. It is about the direct state revenues. Tobacco stores are open as well here. Taxes are collected on the tobacco products and state lottery tickets.

How did we "come back" from 1917?
We didn't.
50 million dead world-wide, 2% of the population.

What does 1917 + 1929 =?
The end of everything we know now.
Current political and medical leaders: idiots & liars.

Don't tell me there is a Sixth Estate, Craig?

(Sorry. At least my posts follow an algorithm.)

FB is too disturbed for even me. I see it on my wife's face when her phone is in her hand.

And almighty Dog Himself rejoices whenever she puts it down.

Cyrus the Great, describing what form of government the new Persian empire would assume in 550 B.C. (my paraphrase): "All other forms collapse and fail in extreme emergencies, which requires the emergence of a dictatorship to save the empire. We must begin with a dictatorship rather than wait for it to be become necessary".
He was right for 216 years, when they were conquered by... another dictatorship.
Persia is now 2,570 years old without ever having a functioning democracy.

I love History, Kitabel!

But Persia lost its glory a while back.

Yet I wonder if our current 'emergency' might really be a 'revolt'? Either side could go totalitarian.

Which side would never give Liberty back? Nevermind.
