    Yes I do agree that freedom does allow you to decide what risks you want to take, but responsibility and wanting to be a decent person would hopefully guide a person to make these choices in a way that doesn’t put others at risk. Seriously what kind of selfish asshole would say “fuck it I’m going to do what I want and if that can hurt others then it’s on them to protect themselves from my actions”? Personally I think that’s the biggest problem I this country right now, we seem to have a huge number of people that only care about themselves and what they want regardless of how it might impact others.

    Polio was, for all practical purposes, eradicated in the United States because enough people got vaccinated that the virus no longer had a place to replicate and/ or mutate. I have to wonder if that could ever been accomplished if they had the social media and politics that exists today.

    Seriously, if a private restaurant wants proof of vaccination before they let someone in isn’t that their right? Don’t they as business owners have the right to refuse service to anyone they choose?

    Yes it is crazy how some people are willing to give up there rights, but it is also crazy that some people think their rights are more important that the rights of others.

    As an interesting side note my local city council voted last week that only vaccinated people or those who could show a negative covid test in the last 72 hours would be allowed to dine indoors at restaurants or bars. Frankly i don’t mind this at all. Vaccine passports? California started issuing optional digital vaccine records some time back. Seriously if you have been vaccinated your state has a record of it so by letting the people have access to a digital record of it for their phone they are only offering me an easier way to access that info if I need it. It’s not like the government is getting information they don’t already have

    I agree that most people would never want to pass the virus to someone else, unfortunately I do think there are a huge number of people that never even bother to think beyond what they believe is their “right” the same people that get in fights on airplanes thinking they have some “right” not to where a mask, the same morons that think they have “rights” when they enter a private business. I don’t think these people want to hurt others I just think they don’t even think about others.

    I think our “rights” are extremely important, but I also think that how we choose to exercise them comes with responsibility. I mean how can I morally demand my right to do something knowing that in doing so I could potentially cause harm to others? Rights without responsibility isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence

    The polio vaccine was made over 65 years ago. Calculations and tests that took days and weeks back the. Can be done in micro seconds now. Heck the scientists back then didn’t even have computers, I don’t think the time line to make traditional vaccines that had to grow actual virus cells in eggs in the 50’s can be compared to what they can do today with mnra technology that was used for the Phizer vaccine that does not even use or need to grow actual virus. As a side note even when the polio vaccine was still new and not proven every kid I knew was vaccinated by their parents

    Made in China virus vs a made in the U.S.A vaccine? That was an easy choice for me. I suspect if it had not been politicized most people would feel the same. Frankly I think it’s kind of sad that people would let politics influence a decision like choosing whether or not to get vaccinated

    So this begs the question, are the unvaccinated people giving this virus a place to mutate that eventually make the vaccine useless against the mutation? Was reading last night a prediction that due to all of the unvaccinated people this could happen and result with a “doomsday” mutation that would be impossible to stop. Personally I must say I still find it fascinating that some people would rather take their chances with a made in China virus instead of trusting an American made vaccine

  • Where Did You Take Your Slingshot Today?

    Just did a search to find out. Apparently lake havasu serves as a “balancing” reservoir for the water released by lake mead and lake Powell to supply because of this havasu,s water level never varies by more than about 5 feet
