[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 5117038, member: 63706"] Austen 3:16 says that's false equivalency. Let's say your mechanic says "I need two weeks to fix your problem, and It's going to cost you your entire salary for that two weeks." Then you show up and he says, "oh when I fixed the original problem, I found out there's this other problem, and you will have to put in a special filter, and make sure to stay off the roads anytime someone else is driving." Then you take the car home, and none of the problems have been fixed, a normal person says it's time to find a new mechanic. Some others will acquire the knowledge they need to fix the problem themselves. Others will ignore the problem and believe it's really been fixed because their mechanic said so, and they "know better" than to question their mechanic. This pandemic has never even approached the standard necessary to justify any trespass on individual liberty. The people who have been afraid should have been free to decide to lock themselves down, and suffer the consequences of their decisions, everyone else should have been free to go about their business and enjoyed their lives as they saw fit. This isn't rocket science, it's barely 8th grade level biology with a little civics mixed in. You should be free to decide to do just that, you should not be free to force what you think is right on others through your experts of choice by proxy. [/QUOTE]
