Given the media's cynicism of "If it bleeds, it leads," which leads to an unending parade of negativity, we at Messy Times are committing air time to extol the virtues of excellent American citizens who are standing up against tyranny and who do wonderful things for us all in their daily lives.
There's a whole lot more that ties us together than potentially divides us. Across America, far too many governors, mayors and politicians have decided that they've lost faith in the people. "15 days to slow the spread" is amazingly coming into its 7th month of economic, religious and school shutdowns. Whether they ever had a good reason to destroy the economy based on fear of this virus, there is definitely no continuing PUBLIC HEALTH excuse for this ongoing totalitarian destruction of lives and livelihoods.
