His quote does have context.

Apply it to a different context, and it might not work the same.

He believed he was fighting a tyranny from man, caused by man. We have a tyranny from man, caused by a virus.

How did the Covid-19 turn out for you?

All the old one again?

How do we know you aren’t undead?

Not all quotes are memes.

Indeed. I suspect Franklin supported the idea of isolation over Scarlet Fever or smallpox.

You are treating Franklins comment as one.

Come on Lumen, you've gotta understand quotes don't blanket apply to every situation.

Nuh-uh, Ben Franklin said it and he knew everything so it's right all the time.

You wouldn’t have this problem if you asked for permission before sniffing.

Ohhhh vampire. I heard they can be into dicks as well!

Not my area and I don’t judge.

My Governor is getting torn apart on Twitter for extending the stay-at-home order by the exact same people who chastised him for not implementing one in March.

People have such selective memories, I swear. Every Twitter mom demanded the order, now they're calling for "freedom." Smh, I'm just glad Ducey had some stones for once to go against other red state Governors.

Succubi can be dangerous bedfellows.

Can't get a haircut or sit down in Baskin Robbins? Might as well be dead.

Be careful, GVH has been said to report those to the mods who call him out.

For this and other reasons he'd ended up on my foelist.

He...did that? While putting Freedom as number 1?

Anyway, how much you guys think the actual number of the cases? As in, likely unreported or unknown? Could it be in the tens of millions ?

There is the possibility. Countries like China will lie. Other countries are starting to look at past deaths and finding covid possibilities.

This event had screw ups all over the place. My Pollyanna view says we can learn from it and then my cynical view corrects.

Theres probably hundred of thousends up to the millions of unreported, mild or symptomless, cases that went unnoticed and aren't yet in the stats.

My wild guess-timation is about two or three million. Of whomst probably 40-50% are already fine again and immunized, since most probably got it before the various lockdowns set in.

Freedom must always be the top priority because life without freedom isn't worth living.

If you're going to guarantee us the freedom to die, can I at least get a much cooler method than succumbing quietly to a virus?

Yes. The patchy testing means that the number of confirmed cases will be but a fraction of the actual number.

Immunized?

Immunized?

If you spread the virus to someone you are negatively impacting that person's freedom.
