I think the acknowledgement of fault has to play a role, though, as well. We have to be allowed to make mistakes, yes, but we also have to be humble when they happen. I haven't seen any mea culpas from Drew, but maybe he did and they're not getting airtime. I do know that threatening to sue people for copyright infringement for posting freely-available clips of yoir own words is a great way to fan the flames.

Looks like some healthcare workers are saying enough is enough and the best thing they can do for patients is put their employer out of business.

True words man. Each of us has to do our part. I personally need to step back and admit I don't understand other people's motivations. Assuming I do cheapens their lives and breaks down our unity as a people. E Plurbus Unum.

I dunno, UT. This sounds like a disclaimer...

It doesn't seem that political affiliation would be a major factor. IMHO, a better argument could be made for religious affiliation posing a significant tribal detriment to safety. Keep in mind; though, that we've been using adversarial systems for many things for a long time. It may not be the best in all circumstances; but, it keeps whole herds of humanity from running off the edge of a cliff at one time. . . Last edited by sexobon; 04-10-2020 at 12:29 PM. Reason: typo |

The Authority is Total
But don't worry, they're going to "write up papers" on this.

Not to worry, this is why we have a 2nd Amendment.
