Absolutely.I can vote for a third party candidate and then you think it’s ok for me to express a political opinion?
Absolutely.What about a write in vote?
When you refuse to vote at all. When you refuse to vote, you are in effect saying you don’t care. So own that position and make no complaints about how the government is being run if it is really how you feel. If not, vote. Simple.At what along the spectrum of not voting should I stop complaining?
There it is.The whole thing boiled down.Personally, I see no issue with requiring a mask until their is a vaccine that is widely available.
I am a proponent of subsidiarity. So is Catholic teaching.So are we as individuals supposed to come up with our own treatments and cures for illnesses? Or can we expect the gov. play a role in that?
The feds regulate entry/exit from the country.So what level is acceptable to you for a pandemic?
Personal, city, county, state, national, world?
One can be a proponent of something, but you have to make a decision on each item what level is appropriate.
I’m a homemaker. I don’t have this stress with my own children but two-income homes are in quite a bind when the parents have to work but they have young children at home doing school online. I’m a caregiver to a special needs little boy whose mother is a school social worker. Normally I have him before and after school. Depending on what happens in the fall, I may have him a few days a week all day and have to help him with his online classes. I’m not gonna lie that I’m a little nervous about that because I’m not trained to teach a special needs child. His mother works for another school district and likely will have to be there a full week even if the students are only attending on staggered days. I also have a daughter in 6th grade who I will also have to help and supervise. As adults, we will all deal with the situation as adults but that doesn’t lessen the stress it will cause all around.Parents are stressed that they have to teach their children. Who taught children before the advent of public school systems? Parents. Now it is too stressful for them to do it? It is too stressful for them to be an adult and deal with the situation?
I don’t see it that way. I think he is a thinker and problem-solver. I think he often thinks out loud turning over various possibilities whether they are viable or not. But again, I think most people who are adults can see that and don’t look at him like he’s supposed to be a daddy who might mislead the dumbed-down populace who can think for themselves. Take the injection of chemicals comment. I knew exactly what he meant when he said that even if he didn’t word it clearly as he was talking on the fly. We have certain chemicals that can kill the virus on surfaces. Is there some component or molecules of those chemicals that we can look at that could be a viable part of a vaccine or medication? Heck, we inject themerisol (mercury) into people with vaccines so would some scientist be willing to look at that angle a little deeper to see if there is something there? Why not? But the media ran with that, spun it, freaked out that the child-citizens would be guzzling clorox because they aren’t capable of not taking everything literally.Much of what he has said is pure fantasy, and not based in any facts presented by science.
Here’s the thing. If the government issues guidelines and the latest information then nursing facilities, restaurants, theaters, mom and pop businesses, etc have the right to make whatever requirements they feel are necessary that are in the best interest of their customers and their business. Customers, in turn, can decide to comply with a business’ requirements or they can decline to do business there. None of this has anything to do with the government mandating masking and shutting down people’s livelihoods.Should the adults there be allowed to do what they please, should the facility be allowed to do what they please and risk the lives of their residents. Should we as family members be allowed to do what we please and risk not only our parents lives, but the lives of all the other old people living there?
And we should let businesses and citizens decide what precautions to take. I do wonder if they aren’t for a lifetime. Once we allow the gov’t to have this kind of control, then they will next be saying, “On second thought, we should require public masking and shutdowns during every flu season. It’s for the common good.” I have no doubt that will be the next over-reach.The precautions are there until science can catch up to the virus, and either develop effective treatments, a vaccine, or a cure. They aren’t for a lifetime.
Let people decide how much financial and virus risk they are willing to take. Don’t just order them home and then run up the country’s debt even more paying everyone to stay there.Are we now to put more emphasis on money than lives? If not were do we draw the line?
But we take all kinds of risks every day when we leave the house that may or not affect other people. Every time I get on the road, I take a risk that someone else may choose to drink and drive. If I’m afraid of other’s poor choices, I will change my behavior accordingly because it’s a fact that laws/mandates or not, people are still going to do what they are going to do.You are allowed to be an adult as long as your actions don’t adversely affect other people. I can play russian roulette all I want with my pistols, but when I point the gun at you I have gone too far. The problem with the virus is you don’t know if you have it or not and could be infecting others, ie pointing the gun at them.
Too bad Jesus wasn’t running for president. Come to think of it he wouldn’t get too many votes in America right now. Even being perfect would not be enough for some folks…I don’t see it that way. I think he is a thinker and problem-solver. I think he often thinks out loud turning over various possibilities whether they are viable or not.
Please review this list and find fact based, scientific evidence for these statements.I don’t see it that way. I think he is a thinker and problem-solver. I think he often thinks out loud turning over various possibilities whether they are viable or not.
The flu is not the same as this virus. This virus is not the same as prior Covid outbreaks. Again, you don’t know if you are an unaffected carrier of the virus and transmitting it to other people.And we should let businesses and citizens decide what precautions to take. I do wonder if they aren’t for a lifetime. Once we allow the gov’t to have this kind of control, then they will next be saying, “On second thought, we should require public masking and shutdowns during every flu season. It’s for the common good.” I have no doubt that will be the next over-reach.
Yes. And that was a good thing… But too many think the President had miracle powers to cure this whole thing.But guess what. The feds gave guidance and the pres. told to states to make their own decisions. Right?
