We have learned that the folks who really need to read your comments will never see them because they only see their perspective and would never "condescend" to open their minds. It is very frustrating! We can only hope that once sanity is restored that all trepidation will have passed as well and we can move beyond this bizarre moment in time, hopefully salvaging our family relationships ...

I feel like I’ve learned a lot the past few years. My opinion has definitely changed on certain matters. My eyes and ears are now wide open.

Avocado instead of mayo. Great in deviled eggs!

I agree with most of it, couple of thoughts..

Hmm, neither the carrot nor the stick.. that phrase is really every bit as bad as the rest of their rhetoric, it's paternalistic. Incentivizing doesn't get us any closer to freedom -- Instead we ought to be helping deprogram people to better enable them to make the right decisions for themselves based on objective truths and careful discernment.

I'm personally not huge on appeal-to-nature as a catch all, nature can do some pretty horrific stuff. There's times where it's better and there's times where it's a lot worse. There's usually other reasons for things being beneficial beyond simply attributing those benefits to the characteristic of it being naturally occurring, we don't explore that enough.

Sadly I've got some old friends and family whose identities have become based solely around their slavemaster worship, and it has rotted their personalities. So they're the ones with the lessons to learn here but they're very clearly too far gone at this point so I wish 'em well. They should've valued their sovereignty and protected their heads but instead they chose to mix with suckers and succubi, and they get what they get for it. If nothing else hopefully they're sterile now because nature's not always so kind to the new folks we impose life on and I can't imagine being sacrificed to this new-and-improved flavor of statism so quick out the gate.
