#20  The Nockherberg was never the same after the "fire". Man, probably a good 20 years ago now. Wie die Zeit vergeht.....

#15  Politicians are not too keen in preventing problems in the first place. They are reactionary, and then it "shows" that they are "doing something". Preventing something (not just coronavirus stuff) isn't all that sexy.

#14  As much as I have grown to appreciate President Trump, I don't trust him nor any other elected official to give back any power they have attained, no matter how pure their intentions may be.

Around the campfire the other night, we brought this subject up: the concern is that the usual suspects who are thanking Trump are, in a way, acknowledging the precedents set for if/when one of their team get into the Oval Office and cite Trump's action as gospel. If you heard random thunderclaps one evening it was when firearms/ammo were recognized as vital.

Eh, State of Virginia?

#12  From Ace of Spades:
Things are rapidly spinning into a dystopian police state in some areas.

I would say I pity those who meekly voted for enslavement, but I do not.

I would say I pity those that meekly follow their orders into the teeth of an armed populace, but I do not.

I would say I pity the children of both parties, and I mean that wholeheartedly.

It is not the fault of the innocent that their parents choose either the shackles or the strong arm of tyranny.

The over-reaction to this wu-flu is a genie that will be nigh impossible to put back into its bottle. We have set a new standard for dealing with large-scale crises, and that standard is unprecedented power to the state.

There are no saints who pursue, much less win, public office. There are only people with a will to power, certain of their own cause.

As much as I have grown to appreciate President Trump, I don't trust him nor any other elected official to give back any power they have attained, no matter how pure their intentions may be.

I pray all choose wisely from here on. The alternative could make us all wish instead for the casualties predicted in those ridiculous wu-flu computer models.

#11  This entire show has been about nothing more than letting those yearning to exert their power over others do so.

#8  Will there be a designated Shooting Hour also?

Puts me to mind of the WB cartoon with Sam coyote and Ralph the sheepdog punching out after going at it all day.

#7  That'll probably work so well, it'll become permanent!

#6  Now the gangs have two markets. 6am - 9pm drugs. 9pm - 6am bootlegging.

Will there be a designated Shooting Hour also? Asking for a friend with a list.

#5  This is the same dame who went out and got a hair-do despite her stay-in-place order. I guess it follows, then, that we'll see here out shopping for some hooch.
