"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.
Author: Booker T. Washington

Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
Alan Watts used to say that the Church and the West pumped up the masculine and under appreciated the feminine, that we were out of balance, and that this cant help but to end badly. He was very critical of the refusal to reform, saying at one point that the best thing that could happen to the Bible is to go away for 1000 years or something like that. We men of Zen who follow the TAO believe in balance and the middle way of course, we are always seeking the balance that the moment requires and mining the tension of the apposing forces and ideas for clarity and quality (its hard to explain this in just a few words, this is the best I can do today).
I take your point.

My wife's and my knee doctor is "tired of the who COVID thing" and didn't use a mask until the Governor mandated it. He wants to cut her with knee replacement surgery. She's uncertain and I advised "Get a second opinion". That advice applies to everyone, especially about anything that involved breaking the skin.
