And THAT is beautiful and should receive much attention. <br /><br />I think it's all right to be annoyed. And it's all right to be on the fence. <br /><br />One can be all those things and still respect the "authorities"enacting orders. In fact, one can respect those people and still disreguard their orders all at once. <br /><br />It would be nice to think that some of the measures were warranted. It's horrible to think any of those that we should be able to respect fully would also be caving into the pressure. And to be honest, who are we to judge their intentions? All I can do is keep them accountable for their actions. It is my duty, even as I respect them. They need our prayers and respect, but they do not need our complete odedience. <br /><br />And yes, it's different state by state. Our govenor is completely unconstitutional. And most people have been ignoring his orders, except for businesses. Few of us have actually remained home or isolated. My life has been drastically different, mainly because I've had hardly any work. But I've been enjoying having more time to socialize and hike and such. <br /><br />So, yes. You're right. Respect them. Respect EVERYONE. But also realize, that just because someone gives an order, even if they are in a position of power, they may hold neither jurisdiction nor authority. Yes, we must continue to respect them and even consider their words. But we are not obligated to obey. And it's not disobeying to not obey, because of lack of authority or jurisdiction.

I'm with you--I like to see the "togetherness" that's coming out of this crisis, but so wish we could have some of that passion for OTHER injustices, like legalized infanticide, for instance. <br /><br />I've been kinda on the fence regarding the whole quarantine situation. Certain governors are overstepping boundaries. Freedom of speech has been violated in some cases, and in others, the freedom to worship has been undermined. And as you point out so well, people are SUFFERING in ways that are every bit as serious as sickness, whether it be physically or spiritually, from the loneliness that comes with quarantine. On a more subjective level, I'm annoyed--I miss Mass, I miss my friends, I miss going places. I can't wait til this thing is over.<br /><br />But I also respect the authorities enacting a state of emergency. Is there hype and over-caution and over-control? Probably; certainly in some cases. But overall, I like to think that at least *some* of these measures were warranted, that even though there are corrupt people in the gov't taking advantage of this situation there are also many who are genuinely concerned for our welfare, people who are doing their best in very difficult circumstances. People who need our prayers. <br /><br />(Of course, all this probably changes a lot state by state. I don't know what lockdown is like in Montana, but here in Ohio it's been....reasonable? I dunno, despite all my complaining, life hasn't felt TOO drastically different. Maybe cuz I live out in the middle of nowhere, lol.)

And...Ahhh yes, we do feel like a nation of nannies. And yeah it's sad how people are that way. Texas does seem to be doing well. I don't understand the Texas pride most of the time, but I'm proud of them for being more sensible. And what's to come yet does have me concerned. Thanks for your comment!

This country is starting to fee...I'm with you! <br />This country is starting to feel like a nanny and I abhor it. I've also been slightly ignoring the illogical suggestions, I was actually talking to a friend the other night about how people get mad at me and others for recognizing their rights, especially the right to assemble for worship, people are just blindly following everything and it's frustrating. <br />I'm thankful that Texas seems to be going back to being more rational, more and more jobs are opening back up and I hope it continues to get better so that other states can follow suite.<br />I know it's bad in some place, like NYC, but the economical crash is going to be even worse at this rate.
