Sleeping, what a relief. At first glance it looked like a lion pride had been killed since they were strangely lined up. Second thought it’s a nice picture. Nice departure from graphs of gloom and doom. thank you.
Here in eastern Virginia I’ll be streaming the high Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Lafayette LA. https://saintjohncathedral.org/ Beautiful flowers, traditional soprano soloist with organ accompaniment, usually a good sermon, News said Lafayette is in phase one so maybe the pews will be filled..
The lions sleep because they have been fed and can’t escape. They have become used to their prison. Hopefully, this will not be the case with the millions locked in their homes due to believing the hype about C-19. But like the lions this experiment in control of populations by fear has shown how easily people can fall victim to unscientific propaganda. The world’s Socialist elites, including “Pope” Francis must be pleased.
In addition to putting most of the population to sleep, figuratively speaking, the exercise also has revealed just how many people are willing, nay, eager, to rat out their neighbors for violating unjust and likely, in some cases at least, unlawful restrictions. The KGB and the Stasi never suffered a shortage of informants. Nothing has changed, it would seem.
Frank,
I’m generally quite wary of anyone who declares a law unjust or unlawful. Far too often, people decide they may legitimately act as they please regardless. If we expect law to have any workable influence in maintaining order, we can’t merely ignore it as we choose.
