Message: <blockquote data-quote="Volatility_rivals135605" data-source="post: 131807308" data-attributes="member: 1476288">Humanity includes ALL people, not just the young & perfectly healthy + fit.  Our Laws are for everyone, not just for specific religions, races,  body sizes, or age groups.  We kinda take the whole "All men are created equally" seriously, its what makes this so great, along with individual liberties.Im not sure why you think a conversation with my X wife about what shes treating in the hospital with regard to COVID is her having an axe to grind.  She loves her job, she was expressing concern about it, because the delta variant is worse then some media outlets are discussing.  Compared to the original variant, shes seeing a far higher % of younger people, and a higher % of serious symptoms.I concur with it being politicized, by both sides, I also agree it doesnt rise to the level that justifies the reduction of individual liberties and/or the expansion of govnt power+control.The entire point of this thread was not about individual liberties, vaccines, partisanship, etc....  It was a kid knowingly endangering peoples health & lives by going to a very crowded & close proximity public event and intentionally spreading COVID. If its wasnt a stupid joke.... Which who knows at this point.  Either way, very idiotic.  After all the BS the govnt has done the past year, and everything they are trying to do, its actions like this that works against those who are trying to source reason, fairness, & balance. Recklessness & Negligence like that will only further an outcome we both do not want nor support.While the virus effects us all differently, any justification of his action because perfectly healthy people are at lower risk, is not how we form laws or policies in this country. Like I said, I know someone who died from Covid,  52 yrs old, not overweight, but was born with Asthma, otherwise he was healthy & active.  My X is treating a very high % of people in their 30s & 40s that are heaving serious problems with blood clots, circulation, & lung issues, some had limbs amputated because of it, now at high risk of brain bleeds / stroke, etc...  Most of the younger adults are mothers..I dont agree with any policies that reduce individual liberties or have the control over our ability to engage with society.  I also dont agree with someone knowingly endangering people.Lets say just 2% are at increased risk of serious life altering symptoms.  Thats 1200 people at that game, not to mention the people who they come into contact with...We all want to continue to live our life the way we did pre-covid, we need a little balance, fairmindedness, & accountability to stay the course.  Those moral structures are non-partisan, the character foundation does not belong to any political party, no matter how much self righteousness they broadcast.  I do agree the left have shifted so far left and are pushing radical policies & agendas that just 6 years ago would have been considered a political death sentence.   I know a lot of people who grew up Dems, but now feel more aligned with Ind or Rep, because they have moved so far & so fast left.  Cubans see the light, but I find it strange when people flee a corrupt socialist country, then support the very policies they fled.... Mainly because they are falsely convinced every Rep is some rebel flag toting KKK member...The extremism we are seeing now, is extremely disheartening..  The country would be so much better off, and more informed if media outlets were no longer allowed to be partisan..  We always must understand Media are corporations, to make as much money as possible, and negative emotions are easily leveraged & monetized.  Its a shame, truly.</blockquote>
