I get the part about Carthage, nothing grows there to this day.

I put this up on Heather's site this morning,

As the bodies are piling up in FL and TX and they are needing refrigerated trucks to hold them, it seems to me that the feds should park a few, maybe more than a few, in front of the governor’s mansions in any state that needs them. The hell with no parking zones, the federal government can park anywhere they want. That would focus the media and the public on the direct relationship between the occupants of both. Feel free to share that idea with anyone you want to.

"nor is it an element in such liberty that one person, or a minority of persons residing in any community and enjoying the benefits of its local government, should have power to dominate the majority"

The crux of the matter. Public health is the issue. Idiots do not have the right to inflict their idiocy upon the rest of us.

Thanks, TC. In addition to having legal precedent it just stands to reason, doesn't it? We will never get out of this mutation/death loop until enough of us don't give the virus a place to land. DeathSantis down here doesn't get it, he is so blinded by his own ambition. He is not alone. Stupidity reigns and is hanging out on our interstate passovers with US flags flying and huge signs with bright red lettering saying "F#@k Biden". And other idiots honk in approval.

I say a few overpass signs in bright blue paint that say “F#ck Hanging Chads, Florida!” would be appropriate. I doubt if many would get it. But those “chads” gave us Cheney snd Rumsfield and their mouthpiece GW.

That's a bit too close for comfort. :-)

So I’m not so sure Biden will be paying the price—did it ever occur to that our pandemic is a special form of natural selection with the dumbest followers of qanon Derek dying off? Those are a large chunk of the Cheeto base.
