Thank you, Allan.

I support Mr. Olson on this and encourage others to do so.

This is a great blog. One of the reasons it is so, is that Mr. Olson runs it. It seems that he rarely censors comments and he encourages spirited debate by allowing people to express their views so long as there is respect and people remain on topic.

If you like a relatively open forum with a fair mediator who works to keep comments civil and on topic, this is the blog for you. If, however, you simply want to troll others or use this to spout off-topic views, maybe you are in the wrong place.

The problem, ultimately, with the lockdown orders is that they will collapse under the contradictions.

Many of them are justified by governors saying, “Well, people aren’t being responsible.” Well, gee, so my rights are taken away because others aren’t “being responsible?” That doesn’t work. And what about the abortion stuff–Tom Wolf cannot rationally exempt abortions but not mammograms and a host of other “elective” procedures.

None of these orders are constitutional, in my opinion.

One comment about coronavirus and the flu—we have vaccines against the flu. So it’s not even an apples to apples comparison.

I hope that my observation makes the cut. I understand if it does not.

My general announcement was not directed at Ray, but at the author of a comment that never saw print (and some others I’ve deleted).

I have advised my nieces that I don’t expect to come out of hibernation until at least the end of May and have advised them to do likewise. Circumstances may lengthen my self-0imprisonment.

Is there a point where the power can’t be justified and could be successfully challenged in court? When is that? Can we be in an emergency forever just because?
