I heard someone say you can not comply your way out of tyranny, if we give in any more that is a lesson our children and grand children will come to know personally.

Will history give the foot soldiers of tyrannical orders an excuse the short answer is no.

History is often in hindsight very unkind to those who wield authority forcefully and assume their cause is right and just.

We as a country have gotten involved at times we maybe should not have. Its hard to say with full assurance not having the entire picture, nonetheless if results are the judge of a right or wrong time to intervene we have been wrong more often than not. below are some articles on today's subject.

This is the dead horse i will beat as much as it seems redundant. Those who don't speak when they can will loose that ability when they want to. 

Life is not safe you enter a world of risk the day you are born. Is it wise to rely on government to decide for you when and how to take risk. If government is given this amount of power where and when does it stop if ever.

This is A candid conversation I had with one of my childhood friends. We discuss race from the perspective of two black man that see the issue of race relations with a little more nuance than most people allow themselves to see.

THE CDC RECOMMENDS EVERYONE 12 YEARS AND OLDER SHOULD GET A COVID-19 VACCINATION. I AM ASSUMING THIS IS WHY THE SURGEON GENERALS CHILDREN DID NOT GET THE VACCINE THEY MUST BE UNDER 12, I DIDN'T WANT TO ASSUME ANYTHING WITH OUT LOOKING IT UP. FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS NOT ONLY FOR THINGS LIKED BY THE MASSES OR APPROVED BY OFFICIALS, IT IS FOR SPEECH PERIOD BOTH THINGS LIKED AND THINGS DISLIKED. 

Will the mob be allowed to silence anyone who opposes them, and where did they learn this behavior.

I try to be very balanced in my open criticism of Joe Biden. I think it is hard to see him speak and not come to the conclusion that something is wrong with his cognitive ability, and that is unsettling.
