Well, howdy, there, Internet People, Let's Bow again. So today we're going to talk about a class, a debate, and a final exam.

The United States is at that final exam right now.

We've been given a course, a class

in self-governance and how important it is.

We've received the class and now we're at the point of the final exam.

There's been a big debate among people of my ideological bent the whole time this is going on.

Because we're watching with utter fascination.

One of the key beliefs is that good ideas don't require

force and that you can lead your life better than somebody in DC or your state capital or whatever.

That's one of the core beliefs.

And obviously some of the measures like the lockdowns.

They fly in the face of that. And this has been a debate that

even the people that are behind the scenes on this channel have been engaged in

because the lockdown is force. Good ideas don't generally require force. However, not having the lockdown in place means that people have to go out to go to work because if they

don't they're going to be thrown out on the street and that's a type of force it's coercion.

So there's that catch-22 because the system we live in is very

different than the ideology we want. So that debate has rage and you've probably heard me say we don't need lockdown orders because

you should know enough to do it yourself. We've reached that point. There's a whole bunch of places reopening. There are a whole

bunch of places where the government is now saying, yes, it's okay to go out. Is it? People keep saying we want to return to normal. I'm going to go ahead and give you a

cheap sheet for the exam. There is no return to normal until we have an effective, reliable, available treatment or

vaccine. There's no return to normal until that point. Just because the government opens everything back up

doesn't mean it's time to rush out to the mall.
