The Only Thing Necessary for Evil to Triumph is for Good People to do Nothing

The United States of America has been the freest nation that has ever existed on this earth. It has also been the least racist mixed race nation and the most financially comfortable country on the planet. We have been flourishing more than any other country.

But to some people here, this is not enough. They want to have a society where the people are "taken care" of. 

But in this country, there is a high number, a huge quantity of people who want to take care of themselves and their families. 

This is a short list of problems with lockdowns:

1) Children "going to school" at home don't get to see their friends, don't learn much (this has proven out after the current 8-9 month lockdown and school closures, don't get school lunches (which, for many of our school children, is the only meal they get)

2) People suffer depression, leading to suicide, drug addiction, alcoholism, homelessness, mental illness, spousal and child abuse, etc. 

3) It destroys brick and mortar businesses since people either are afraid to go out and shop or the stores are being destroyed by vandals and rioters. 

Lockdowns also don't help. Studies show that if you take two populations and one is locked down and one isn't, more people die in the locked down group. 

I don't want to go into it too much, but both lockdowns and masks are counter productive. If you are able to look at it in an unbiased way and check out the evidence (including "the science") you will find that these measures cause more negative issues than they save lives. The biggest issue is  with children. 

But the left doesn't care what is best for the populous. They care what is best for themselves. What the populous wants is foreign to them (meaning they don't know what it is nor do they understand why -- they don't understand that unlike those people who have money coming out of their pupiks, (bellybuttons) most of us can't afford to not work for months on end. Many of us live from paycheck to paycheck meaning every missing paycheck squeezes people financially that much more. Unlike "Hidin' Biden" we can't afford to be locked down for 9 months (so far). 

So when are the "Dems" going to stop this mishagas (craziness)? When are people (especially real Republicans -- I'm not counting the Rinos but the true Elephants) going to accept that the death numbers on Corona are highly exaggerated and that this virus is not as deadly as the lockdown? When are the Ivory Tower leaders going to let us live our lives? 

In my case, I'm more worried about how people react when I don't wear a mask (even outside or alone in my car) than I am of the virus. I'm more worried about my friends who are afraid to touch me. I'm more worried that I won't ever be able to visit my family members (most of whom live airplane rides away -- I already missed a corona wedding of one of my nieces).

So our leaders need to at least allow us to make our own choices. That's what this country stands for. There would be a lot less fear if the left didn't stoke it. Just like many African American police casualties, the left's fear mongering is leading to the their deaths. But, then again, that, like the rampant corona fear today, is what they thrive on.
