Decompressing from walking on eggshells for the past four years. I have found the last four years to be an almost intolerable period. A very un-American period in that any questioning, any opinions, any likes or dislikes were held up to a very limited list of “permitted positions” in order to assess acceptability.

Sounds like a personal problem. Stop being a coward, woman.

It was to test Americans temperature for being ruled and controlled by compliance under the guise of "health".

Justine Bateman- but am one of the millions of people who believe in common sense, and that everyone should be free to live their lives however they want, unless that freedom interferes with someone else’s freedom to live their own life.

That's a lie. If I applied it to my life it turns out that taxes paid to improve the lives of others, foreign aid, welfare, scholarships, hell even roads and infrastructure to a point, severely interferes with my freedom while bring me no personal gain.

I didn't need that new library built, I have the internet and any book I want to read can be bought. I didn't need that new public swimming pool, I have a private one. I don't need to be forced to pay for veteran retirement facilities, I'm trying to save for my own.

I'm forced to pay 56% of my income to some tax entity or another and maybe, maybe, benefit from about 5% of it. Fuck you justine.
