I didn't bring up anything that wasn't already mentioned in this thread, yet you accuse me of derailing.

Why didn't you make that accusation about derailing when the post below was made?

Oh man.. the irony is strong..

Go take a look at the covid thread and see which posters were complaining about rights and freedoms (hint.. it's not the same group as here.. lol). Odd..
Did you ignore that, because the person that posted it supports your opinion?

I agree with this 100%... The slope keeps getting more and more slippery every day, and by continually saying it is okay in small increments because those increments are just not enough of an inconvenience for most people to care, they just keep going and going until eventually one day we all look back and ask "Wow! How did we end up here?", but by then it will be too late.

Exactly! Too many people just sit back and watch as they take more and more and more, and finally when they lose something that is important to them, they wonder why everyone else isn't anxious to support them.
