#11  @murcek. That’s not us, it’s the Massholes and the colleges in Hanover and Dover.

#9  Would you all up there consider giving us a f*cking break from the leftist trash you send to Washington?

#8  KBK, where in central NH are you hiding out?

We've retired to Central NH a year and a half ago, Springfield right on the border of New London.

Kids all come up to ski at Sunapee.

#6  The lockdown will phase out, and the case numbers will rise, hopefully just a bit. Flareups will occur, and spot lockdowns will may needed. Hopefully, the number of cases will be small enough to track and quarantine.

I’m still at home, still over 70, and still not immune. As part of the at-risk group, I’m planning on staying incommunicado until there are almost zero new cases. That should be doable in central NH.

#5  Our politicians have no idea what happens if they damage their veneer of authority the way the media has flushed its credibility away.

#4  Remember the Arizona traffic camera experience. The good people of Arizona decided en masse to just ignore the whole thing and refused to pay. The state looked into it and discovered that it would take every uniformed and non-uniformed officer in the state, state, county, municipal AND federal to just enforce the traffic cams.

That said, we must never let them forget that they govern with our consent. The promiscuous use of the term 'our leaders' must be banished in favor of the traditional public servant.

#3  Perhaps the average 'Joe citizen' would prefer governance via FEMA region military governor/commanders with the State and Federal POLS sitting this one out.

Go ahead, continue to bitch and moan, but please don't forget the potential alternatives. Alternatives by the way, which do not require legislative deliberation.

#1  Protests are popping up around the country. There will be one here in Denver on Sunday.

If they don't start by the beginning of next month, the people will go into full disobedience mode.
