Amen to thatThe rich full life you described here means a great deal to me. It happened because they were free to make it happen for themselves.One hundred thousand people who were alive three months ago that would still be alive if it weren't for this damned virus. Around here, it is the elderly ladies who step in and seamlessly organize sandwiches and coffee for the funeral services, who still lick a stamp and send you a birthday card so there's something besides junk mail and bills in the mailbox. Who hold the bake sales every Saturday at the Grange Hall to raise money for the church. And Every. Biscuit and Quart of Baked Beans is sold by 9:30 a.m. Who can tell you the family genealogy back at least three generations of most families in town. And they can tell some stories, I tell ya. Many of these people are in their seventies and eighties and they still run their own homes and have families they love, follow the Red Sox, dicker down tradesmen, follow their favorite authors via the public library, enjoy a drive to the beach, or a trip for a good fresh clam roll.
But their lives mean nothing to you.
A pathetic existence locked in one's house, eking out a meager lonely survival as an economic slave to an oppressive government is what you are advocating by acquiescing to these conditions being placed on free people. Fuck that....
A life well lived matters to me.
