CDC says it erroneously posted guidance that said coronavirus spreads through air and and travel beyond six feet
How can you possible post that in error? This isn’t some little typo, this is a full, written guidance. It is more likely the “erroneously posted the truth.”

Ah, you miserable creatures! You who think that you are so great! You who judge humanity to be so small! You who wish to reform everything! Why don’t you reform yourselves? That task would be sufficient enough. Frederic Bastiat

Flashback: In 2016, Ginsburg said Senate should hold SCOTUS confirmation hearing during election year
Upon the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the age of 87 on Friday, the partisan bickering over what should happen next immediately crescendoed — with President Trump and most Republicans agreeing a nominee should be named before the election, and Democrats expressing outrage at the idea while demanding the void be filled after a new president (or the incumbent) and Senate is sworn in next January.

Travelers should focus on their anger at the real problem – too much government. Consumers need to ask why a group of senators must approve an increase or decrease in the number of daily flights into major airports. They need to ask why this dynamic industry isn’t controlled by the market instead of greasy-palmed politicos. Matthew Maletestinic

The most powerful men are not public men: a public man is responsible, and a responsible man is a slave. It is private life that governs the world. Benjamin Disraeli

Strange it is that men should admit to the validity of the arguments for free discussion, but object to their being ‘pushed to an extreme;’ not seeing that unless the reasons are good for an extreme case, they are not good for any case. Strange that they should imagine that they are not assuming infallibility when they acknowledge that there should be free discussion on all subjects which can possibly be doubtful, but think that some particular principle or doctrine should be forbidden to be questioned because it is so certain, that is, because *they are certain* that it is certain. To call any proposition certain, while there is any one who would deny its certainty if permitted, is to assume that we ourselves, and those who agree with us, are the judges of certainty, and judges without hearing the other side. John Stuart Mill
Chapter II, Of the Liberty of Thought and Discussion, On Liberty (1859)
If you aren’t for freedom you’re on the wrong side of history.
If you aren’t for freedom you’re on the wrong side of history. You’re on the side of socialism, communism, fascism, and any form of totalitarianism, authoritarianism and collectivism. The side of the slave owning Democrats in the Civil War. Dressing up slavery with flowery language doesn’t make it any less evil and immoral.
The anti-liberty, something for nothing group hasn’t changed in millennia.

They are a disaster. They ruined the poor. They created a culture of poverty and a culture of violence which is destructive of this civilization, and they have to be replaced thoroughly from the ground up. Newt Gingrich
