If we love democracy ... why are we cowering at home? There are worse things than the flu (by any other name), and a Nova Scotian has graphically demonstrated that! One man has clearly had enough. He's apparently completely lost his marbles and killed a lot of his neighbours. Too much time to listen to his own angry thoughts? CBC: Death toll hits 18 in Canada's worst mass killing Humans are social animals. Keep them sequestered for long enough and bad things happen. The pressures of job loss, for instance, will exacerbate domestic quarrels, some with violence, and therefore emotional damage to children. Some people should never be left with nothing but their own company. Some others try to use their time productively; such as John Hill, an American commenter to another CBC article: CBC: Some business owners fear being left behind, as talk shifts to reopening the economy John very wisely says: If you want to stay home, stay home. If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. If you want to avoid large crowds, avoid large crowds. I am not required to descend into poverty for you. I am not required to abstain from human contact for you. I am not required to shop alone, without my kids, for you. I refuse to participate in "quarantine life" until there's an unsafe, untested vaccine released in eighteen months. I refuse to receive said vaccine to make others feel more safe. I won't set myself--or my children--on fire to keep you warm. If you're convinced the vaccine is safe and effective, you can get it yourself. Some of you are allowing fear and policies devoid of scientifically accurate data to destroy America and ruin your life. I can't control your self-destructive behaviors, but we all have a say in America. [YYC: Ostensibly in Canada as well.] We need to tell legislators that we demand options. We have a constitutional right to take risks. Life is full of bacteria and viruses--many of which spread before symptoms manifest and after they subside. We have a right to receive OR refuse vaccines. The data was inaccurate at best; purposely overblown to justify government overreach at worst. Stop allowing the government to destroy: The Food Supply Small Businesses Medical Autonomy Access to Healthcare Religious Gatherings Privacy Rights Fellowship "When the 'new normal' is filled with starvation, depression, suicide, imprisonment, governmental spying, and pure DESPERATION, the virus is going to look preferable to the world you helped facilitate” author unknown YYC says Amen. The consequences of social isolation are only just beginning. If you'd like to know more about its effects, there is a plethora of articles online that you can read. Interestingly, The Atlantic has an article headlined: The Virtues of Isolation
The key word there, of course, is "choosing". Does anybody recall voting for self-isolation? No, I think we all voted for what we hoped would be a "good life" and that necessitates "freedom". Hands up all who want FREEDOM. Image: Voting Hands

Thanks for spotting those wise words from John. As for my small act of defiance ... preparations are complete ... the game is afoot ... and there's a crow involved. I handed out another Bank of Canada sheet (very politely) to a friendly little business in town who I think is just pretending to not take cash for appearances sake (she took my cash with no problem). And here's some good news (don't bother with the comments -- DM readers can be quite DiM, especially about CV911):

You're right, M.R., that stores only pretend to not take cash. I find that if I don't say anything and just hand them the cash, they take it. I haven't felt bad about doing that since you said our money is washable ;-)

From Vanessa Beeley (a true journalist) who I greatly appreciate for her integrity and compassion:

Thanks for the Beeley quote, M.R. I heartily agree with the statement, but I couldn't find the URL for it. Do you have it?

M.R. - Greencrow moderates comments, hence they don't appear until that's been done.

It looked like the "publish" button didn't work both times I tried (late last night and again this morning). Maybe she's taking some well-deserved time off. Leave a Reply. |
