Guest #1 Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) This is a very good example of how ridiculous it's all become, and it's a good reason why anyone who can think for themselves should not have any respect for so-called authority. Limit on family gatherings: ten Limit on funerals or other events: fifty https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rep-elect-lauren-boebert-plans-thanksgiving-funeral-for-dead-turkey-in-defiance-of-colorado-guidelines That said, I don't really know what to make of this. On the face of it, it appears to be grossly irresponsible. However, if 'Rona-rules are being observed, where's the harm? Meanwhile in Oregon, it appears that the same people who want to defund the police also want citizens to call police if they see 'Rona violations. And the state of Washington has a website for finks: https://coronavirus.wa.gov/report-safe-start-violation What could go wrong? Let the knee-jerking commence!

A person is either willing to do their part in the public health emergency we are in or they are not. It would be pointless to discuss it further. As I posted elsewhere, in the real world I live in these kind of people get no respect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,444 #5 November 27, 2020 Mark, that was a meme going all over Facebook for the last couple of weeks. There are 330 million people in the US, and a LOT of reporting capacity with the internet, and a LOT of people willing to volunteer whatever stupid thing they do. Expect more ridiculousness. Personally, I expect the best, and it's pretty much always worked. I have some plans for the worst, but they're not the primary plans, because avoiding what I might view as loss isn't my primary motivation, and I don't define change as loss. Wendy P.

Yeah, it looks like the police will have to handle those calls because.........of the resistance to defunding the police. If the police were defunded, and that cash reinvested into more appropriate response groups those calls would go to those trained to provide a more appropriate response.
