If you hadn't said anything at all or not mentioned what your decision would be, it would indeed be personal. By discussing it and the issues at hand, you have made it propaganda, and it is objectively police state propaganda, and by making it you are setting a poor example.

We have a duty to the younger generations to set a good example, to remind them of the liberties that have been lost and are still being lost and to remind them that it is possible to fight to keep them and have them returned. I have already explained mathematically the idiocy of this disproportionate fear of the coronavirus. Your excuse is that the elderly are at greater risk. We are at greater risk of a lot of other things as well, like heart attacks, strokes, complications of diabetes and cancer, but that doesn't mean we hide out and stop living. You say you sometimes go driving just for the pleasure of driving. You're in far greater danger from that than you are from any virus. Besides, being a germaphobe is the most stupid thing a mud-lover could be.

You say we Americans often have an attitude of hurray for me and forget others. That is doubtless true of many, but when we Americans refuse to comply with orders that are supposedly for the common good because they infringe on our liberties, we do so because we know that the common good is often an excuse to victimize citizens for narrow interests contrary to the real public good and that in the long run, the common good depends upon protecting our liberties. Before Maine became a state, it was part of Massachusetts, and in April 1775, General Gage sent soldiers from Boston to Lexington and Concord to seize the weapons of the colonial militia supposedly for the common good. I think you remember what the answer of the people was.

I am truly frightened, but not of the coronavirus. I am afraid of what my countrymen are letting this country turn into through complicity or inaction, and you, quite frankly, are part of the problem. All the nonsense I've heard in the past few days is making my head spin, and I think I'm going to die very soon. I feel healthy, and I don't think I will die of any virus. I think I'm going to die from a policeman's bullet. Why? Because the way things are going, one day very soon one of these tin gods in positions of authority they don't merit is going to give an order to "shelter in place," that is for innocent people to submit to house arrest without due process of law, and when that happens, I'm not going to obey it, even at the point of a pig cop's gun (and, yes, cops have pointed guns at me before), because I refuse to live in a police state. If the rest of my life is going to be submitting to that, then 53 years is enough for me.

We need to remember that we're old men and not old women. Cowboy up!
