A quote I have had on my web site since the Clinton years. Appropriate again for our times. From an old member at FreeRepublic.com:
“On the path towards the Rule of Men and away from the tranquility of the Rule of Law, the historical trap has been for good citizens to call upon stricter and stricter government, followed by stronger and stronger government, until government itself becomes so overbearing that it becomes more of the enemy than the anarchy from the Rule of Men.
As the olde maps used to cite: ‘Here there be dragons.'” ~ Southack
Knowing the way the system (government paternalism and abuse/social media reach/surveillance/digital trails) works from my decades of observation and hindsight, every time I drive by one of these “free” and heavily promoted testing stations, I can’t help but feel sad for these wayward sheep so frightened into irrationality and shortsightedness by the government and media. All their personal information dumped into these databases to potentially be used against them in the future in this misguided campaign to stop the “scary virus,” which is impossible. The naive and gullible think it is.
