Folks, welcome to hour two. We have Vostradamus in the studio. Vostradamus, I got a letter from a woman, let's call her Debbie, because a real name is actually...

Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric's Lettaxas.

Eric, a question for you. How do we respond to people when they bring up doing things for the greater good?

Some background for you.

I was telling a coworker about my cousin and his wife who live in New York State,

and they went to Idaho for a visit with relatives.

This was about a year ago when the quarantines were at their height.

When they returned to New York State, they had to quarantine for two weeks.

Fine, they were prepared to do so, but what they were not prepared for was the tracker

who called them every day to make sure they had not left the house.

But the real issues, the trucker told them that they should sleep in different rooms

and use different bathrooms if this was possible.

Needless to say, they and I were shocked to have a tracker telling people what they can and can't do in their own house. Such irrational dictates. So I told this to a coworker thinking she would be shocked as I was, but she said, well, if it's for the greater good, I don't have a problem with it. Kill all the Jews. Actually, she didn't say that, but it was implied.

She leans to the left, so I shouldn't be surprised,

but I didn't know quite how to respond. The perception is if you don't pursue the greater good, you're being selfish and unchrist-like. Can you please help maybe discuss in your radio program? Okay, I wanted to answer this. So I'll say what I think, and then I want to hear what you think.

I'm amazed that Americans would be foolish enough to give anybody their information.

When I got off the plane, every time I landed in New York, and some people said, sir, we need you to do it.

I said, I'll do it later.

Thank you.

I walked away.

At some point, they came up to me and said, well, sir, you know, you could, I said, do you have any authority to make me do this? Well, no, sir, but I said, goodbye. The idea that you just kind of go along with what people are telling you, fill out forms, put in your email and your phone number and stuff like, it's none of your business. I'm a free American. how dare you even approach me even approach me that's number one number two let's say you did give them the number and they call you at

home like they have some right to talk to you or to it ladies and gentlemen when you get an email you
