Flatten the Curve

Remember this: When we began with Covid 19 we were generally told that the goal was to slow the spread, to "flatten the curve", in order to dribble out covid cases in bits and drabs to reduce the burden on hospitals and staff. Everyone was still going to eventually get it, just not all at once.

Think about when that message shifted.
Think about when the rhetoric changed to "defeat" or "end" Covid 19. No flu or covid virus, not one of them, that has made the jump from animals to humans has ever been defeated. Not a single one has truly come to an end. They mutate. They become less prevalent. They all still exist and are still passed between people.
Flatten the Curve.
That made sense.
Let us take away all of your freedom, emotionally and psychologically abuse your children, disregard those with mental difficulty, isolate the elderly and let them die alone because, BECAUSE, if you allow these utterly HORRIFIC things... we can DEFEAT Covid 19.
Utter, authoritarian, politically motivated, willfully malicious bull shit.
New York is instituting a vaccine passport and officially making anyone who is unvaccinated or who forgets their "papers" or who doesn't have a smart-phone into second class citizens, blocked away from participation in their communities. Why? So they can DEFEAT a virus that will never be removed from the list of human infecting viruses. Never could be. Never a possibility. But it's still the reason for making Americans carry and present "papers".
So if the malicious and willfully deceitful politician knows this, and he DOES know it, what is the purpose?
The purpose is, that when Covid 19 is NOT defeated, that there can be scapegoats to blame. They didn't lie to you, those people over there stole peace and prosperity from you. Because scapegoats, those un-people who undermine the perfect society that could be, the perfect society that is promised, are utterly and absolutely VITAL because enemies and un-people are VITAL to an authoritarian assumption of power.
That's why.

One thing that mostly goes unsaid is that the person at the top who agreed to this flatten the curve nonsense was Trump.now, I understand, Trump would not be that detail oriented to be able to make a call on his own. But he did make the call. The more interesting thing never investigated is who, on his team, foisted Fauci and Birx on him.

Compulsion is Compulsion, no matter who does it.  This is Brilliant Theft is Theft, no matter who does it. Freedom of Association has no room in it for *private* action   that takes that away Freedom of Association. If I have a business and have voluntary associations such that I choose to serve some people and to not serve others, that might make me a jerk and it might lose me business, it might make me smart and it might gain me business, but it's got to be my choice.  If I would normally serve the current disliked minority in my shop except for the fact that if I'm SEEN to serve them by the wrong people I'll have a private campaign against me as those people do everything possible to ruin me by preventing me from doing business physically or by attacking my customers or suppliers, then I am NOT free to make those choices. Does it really make a difference to losing my CHOICE to voluntarily associate if there's a law that says I may not serve "those people" o...

Save the Dresden Files?

This is rather upsetting! How can such a fantastic show be in danger of being canceled? I suppose worse things have happened so I think I will at least send a post card or something to let the network know that I think that the Dresden Files is one of the best shows on television. I was just assuming that there would be a "next season" on this. If it is canceled, I will be desolate! Here's the Sci-fi channel website. There's supposed to be a link to watch whole episodes someplace on there.
