And you bet my a$$ I care a lot more about my son than some jerk from Gilford.

And now it comes down to school yard name-calling.

Major, your hard-headed opinions do liven up the forum. But when you are long on opinion and short on facts, ignorant of what's happening 300 miles south of the lake, and immediately dismissive of alternative viewpoints with little concrete evidence to support your own, you are hardly complementing yourself. It feels like all you care about is, well, you.

I'm guessing you find it impossible to believe but there actually are authorities on this subject matter that just might be a tad more educated than you are.

He claims to be an engineer. I have experienced many engineers who throw out the facts as noise.

Was engineering even a thing in the 80's?!

I think balance is key in most things. The problem is that finding balance in America is almost impossible, so extremes are used to move the needle. Historical movements and policies show this over and over.

So, while a "let's keep the spread to a minimum" request should result in people keeping a safe distance, not congregating in big groups, cleaning and washing hands thoroughly, staying in as much as possible, etc. it has resulted in "shut the world down" for some and "don't tread on me" for others.
