A couple months back I engaged in a discussion of system racism with a liberal friend. I gave him an opportunity to criticize my positions and included his comments verbatim. We didn’t snipe at each other in pithy 140-word tweets and then hide behind a curtain of anonymity. Instead, we laid out the arguments inContinue reading “Discussion on Freedom (with regard to COVID policy, abortion, gay marriage, transgenderism, and more)”

COVID’s September Slide (Some Good News)
Last September, the third wave of COVID was in full swing and COVID deaths reached their peak a few months later. On the other hand, this September brought the end of the COVID fourth wave which was not as deadly as the third wave. For the moment, COVID in the U.S. is in full retreat.Continue reading “COVID’s September Slide (Some Good News)”
Do You Really Mean It?
As a presidential candidate last year, Joe Biden told us he was “going to shut down COVID”. In a speech to the nation on September 9, he told us again that he has a new plan and that it promises certain things, such as: keeping kids safe in school, reducing the spread of COVID, savingContinue reading “Do You Really Mean It?”
Delta Declines; COVID Tyranny Rises
The biggest news of the last week is that the Delta variant is now in decline in the U.S. Even though we knew this was coming, it is still nice to see. The rising and falling of COVID cases is the one COVID related feature as certain as death and taxes. The 7-day moving averageContinue reading “Delta Declines; COVID Tyranny Rises”
COVID Retrospective (vaccines, masks, treatments, natural immunity, herd immunity, and more)
In my last post, I wrote of the ineffectiveness of mask mandates at stopping the spread of COVID. Dr. Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s state epidemiologist said, “face masks are an easy solution, and I’m deeply distrustful of easy solutions to complex problems” (To Mask or Not to Mask: That is the Question – Seek the TruthContinue reading “COVID Retrospective (vaccines, masks, treatments, natural immunity, herd immunity, and more)”
To Mask or Not to Mask: That is the Question
The more evidence that is brought to light that mask mandates, and masks in general, are ineffective at stopping the spread of COVID (or other communicable diseases), the harder the push is to enforce masking in schools, to bring back mandates for the general public, to openly criticize those who favor freedom of choice onContinue reading “To Mask or Not to Mask: That is the Question”
COVID: What’s Next?
COVID has clearly spread rapidly this summer. Cases are averaging almost 150,000 per day, a level that was first reached late last fall. We left those levels behind in early February, we thought for good, but the virus waxes and the virus wanes. The virus is gonna do what it is gonna do despite theContinue reading “COVID: What’s Next?”
What is Freedom?
One of the more disturbing aspects of contemporary debate today is the lack of appreciation for freedom. People enjoy their own freedom for sure, but they don’t like when others have freedom: the freedom to criticize, the freedom to disagree, the freedom to offend, the freedom to prove you wrong, the freedom to defeat yourContinue reading “What is Freedom?”
Letter to My Employer: I won’t do it
I have watched as many around me have been pressured to vaccinate because of employer or school mandates. Many will accede to this demand because of the concern they have for their futures. Some may take a stand, but at a potentially high cost. Now, my employer, the federal government, has issued a vaccine mandate.Continue reading “Letter to My Employer: I won’t do it”
The Fool’s Gold of Zero Covid
We have been bombarded with a couple of COVID narratives recently, first, that COVID is out-of-control again and we all need to go in the back yard and run in circles, and secondly, that the COVID problem is easily solved and we can all go back to normal and forget about our COVID worries ifContinue reading “The Fool’s Gold of Zero Covid”
