This saying originated here. It's said for a reason. Sometimes, you just have to delay a few of your personal freedoms temporarily for the greater good of your fellow citizens. Perhaps it really is as simple as that. Take one for the team and follow the mandates, or suffer the consequences, like BC said. Like I pointed out before, our seat belt campaign were very successful because we combined uniform messaging across the board, and penalized (slightly) those who refused to put it on. Following the mandate should not be any more different than the seat belt campaigns. They are both designed to save lives. As for the clogged up legislative branch of our government, perhaps a time will come when enough public voices push through to demand real change of our antiquated house and senate. Term limit sounds better and better each day.

I agree the pandemic has been one of the catalysts. The pandemic guidelines got many folks fired up about infringing on their freedom and being quarantined or out of work caused widespread anger and frustration.
As we all know racial injustice has been present since are beginnings. There has been an ebb and flow of the magnitude, visibility and intensity but it was much broader and worse than today. I think black lives matter demonstrations and police brutality against black Americans poked the racial injustice bear this time. I think the worldwide reach of social media, cell phone cameras and videos are an important catalyst. Racial issues, demonstrations, looting, police violence etc. are in our faces like never before. The magnitude of the problems are more visible. It wasn't long ago that our source for information was limited to TV news, newspapers and magazines. I think another important catalyst is our President. In many ways he sets the tone of what issues he thinks should be focused on and what behavior is appropriate by how he addresses those issues. He has exasperated divisiveness and made it in vogue to address these issues with more aggressive language and actions. Back to the pandemic. We can control the pandemic. Wear a mask, social distance, avoid crowds and wash your hands even if it is not mandated. It's not for you but for others.

Biden did call Trump a racist this past July. As it relates to the travel ban, he did state that calling the virus the China virus was xenophobia in February but that is different than a racist. Thank you for your service. No, you weren't part of the problem when you were defending the constitution even if you weren't voting then. I didn't say or imply that. I said if you don't vote you are part of the problem. You are accepting the problems we are discussing. That is not doing your part to change what you think is wrong. We need to stand up for what we believe is right. Voting is the key way we do so. I have been to San Francisco and many many other cities both here and around the world. There are places all around the world with the same problems. If she wasn't working to correct the problem I would be critical as well but that is not the case. Bear in mind she can't order the leadership of San Francisco to do more. Pelosi certainly has influence but she can't force the state or Fed. to dedicate more funds to fix the problem. By the way, the problem in San Francisco is still above the national average. It has declined some but has also become more visible and exploited. That said, what is going on in San Francisco or what Pelosi has done or not done has no bearing on how our administration is handling the virus. You are echoing one of Trump's many diversionary tactics.

BC, your comments and Crystals are the considerate and well-thought voices we desperately need in this abnormal and disastrous year.

https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/loca...atown/2240247/ https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20...cos-chinatown/ NO MASKS, NO SOCIAL DISTANCING, AND PELOSI IS TELLING THE PUBLIC, “EVERYTHING IS FINE”. Downplaying the actual threat of COVID-19. How is that any different from the president addressing the same issue with no mask on, and downplaying the threat to keep panic to a minimum. HYPOCRITES! You better fact check, factcheck. Quote:

Regardless, even accepting your misuse and misinterpretation of the clip as accurate, it still doesn't matter what she did or said. She is not the one in charge. The inappropriate actions of one person does not mean the inappropriate actions of another are OK or justified. COVID-19 is happening on Trump's watch. The buck stops with him regardless of what anyone else says or does. The virus isn't his fault but anything that the Federal government does, right or wrong is his cross to bear. He is the current President. He is in charge. I have no idea why you brought in religion as justification for not voting. I contend that if you want anything changed as to how this nation functions then register to vote and vote in all elections--county, city, state and federal. Applying the "Golden rule" how do you justify calling anyone a hypocrite?

The religion part makes no sense to me either. He's free to believe in any religion. That doesn't mean he should or shouldn't vote.
As an american citizen, I would think voting for your local to national elected officials is part of your duty. You can choose to vote or not to vote, that is your right. But God doesn't govern this country, our elected officials do. Forgoing your right to choose the one you want to run the country seems a very passive way to live.

However, as not to pass judgment against others behaviors or beliefs, there are certain things they are trying to teach in the school that I certainly do not want my children to learn about. Washington DC is full of hypocrites.
