Not that suspicious. I have been known to flip-flop on whether I like brunettes or redheads better.

I would argue that the Texas Constitution is flawed.Col Hogan wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 7:09 pmThe US Constitution prevents the President from just dictating to the sovereign states...UNI88 wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 3:06 pm Texas Gov.

So how is a Governor/state government dictating to municipalities and other local government entities any different from the President/federal government dictating to states?
Under the Texas Constitution, the Governor can issue edicts like this...
Apples and oranges...

This guy doesn't understand that freedom can be messy and that we thankfully don't live in a totalitarian state.

True. And people not doing sensible things like wear a mask and get vaccinated will ironically push us more toward totalitarianism.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
No kidding. Why would anyone not just say "yeah I'm vaccinated" when pressed for no mask?
Also loving that fact that more people are finally waking up to the "it came from the lab" theory. Gotta wonder why that narrative was suppressed and censored a year ago.

One of the reasons they’d get vaccinated anyway. Thinking about others.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Why? Because thin skinned scolds can't handle people disagreeing with them so they need/want to force them to do what they "know" is right? Fauci and his ilk with masks aren't so different from Trump with the BLM riots in Portland in that regard.
So what if people are going to lie or "be sensible". The vaccine is available, if they don't want to get it and don't want to wear masks, that's their decision. They have to face the consequences if they get sick.
If we'd had this approach to government 100's of years ago we never would have let people cross the Appalachians because it was too dangerous.

Some of it is thin skinned scolds for sure. But last I looked, it’s still a deadly disease that could have killed considerably more and caused greater or longer duration lockdowns.UNI88 wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 1:52 pmWhy?

I’m all for freedom and less government too. It would be nice if people didn’t compromise their own community health in public or be ok with voluntarily staying at home so the rest of us who acted responsibly can get on with our lives.
