There seems to be a lot of confusion on this.
Your Country: The people and lands you live in, and the ideals which you agree are important to human flourishing.
Your Government: A group of people responsible for protecting the people, lands and ideals which you agree are important for human flourishing.
You can have a great country and have a crappy government. I’ve never seen a crappy country with a good government though (or a good government that last).
At some point we went from “Consent of the governed” to “Compliance with the government”.
Wait, Hunter Biden’s laptop is a mainstream story all of a sudden?
Another Kid Birthday (My youngest 1st), another:
“Hey Art husband decorate this cake!”
Didn’t turn out too bad, first time I’ve done this type of icing.
It seems to me that there is a direct correlation with “vaccine hesitancy” and three distinct types of people:
Frontline healthcare workers
People who studied 20th century History
Nerds who read Sci-Fi

Metal shop wisdom:
Doing one hole at a time will make your life easier, and always watch your tool speed.
I’m glad firearms are safer than vaccines, but I kinda still wish most people would get one.
I feel like we really need to stop with the left/right paradigm and Republicans/Democrats narrative.
The reason is that there are many reasonable positions to be held and argued about on both sides of these lines.
