I have the best reply to this thread:

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security deserve neither & will lose both"

Yeah.....he didn't say that.


He did say this......"those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety"

Benny F, as I like to call him, was writing about a tax issue with the general assembly and a family. The government was taxing the family to pay for defenses during a war.

It has NOTHING to do with what you are referring to......but the quote you pasted is still a good quote.

Yeah, I don't think Franklin was referring to the "liberties" offered by bowling alleys or eating eggs at a diner.

ANYBODY WHO DOESNT THINK CANCER AND CORONAVIRUS ARE THE SAME IF YOUR SISTER WAS DATING HEDGEHOG, BEANTOWNJIM OR SALTY WHO WOULD YOU WELCOME WITH OPEN ARMS

They shut stuff down in 1918 too. If we had widespread testing we could have much more information to combat this. At work I always take the attitude that the more I know the better job I could do. Which makes me angry/sad that we have people in charge that DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND THAT.


People are very frustrated. People want to get back to work, even at the risk of getting sick. The people running the show really seem to have no idea what's going on.

They do not have the intellect to pull that off, it is a big city and these country guys don't want to leave, just protect what they feel is they're freedoms. Hard working, beer drinking, gun tooting, drug induced rural America, your from whiskey land you understand.

I can understand why people want to get out and back to work but the government doesn't know what this virus might do. Will it come back as a second wave and be twice as deadly or just linger and kill thousands more. Nobody knows but I tend to believe the people that want to go back take a risk are in the minority.

Oh I understand the frustration. Wish I could go play poker for a couple of hours. Will not be a douchebag though and protest wasting already shot to hell state/local budgets having to pay police to be there. Irony lost on those small government wackos who go to these.
