Rights, Responsibility and Reason. Or not.

If your feed is anything like ours, it is filled with people suddenly afraid that staying at home to stop the spread of a pandemic is a violation of their civil rights.

The guys discuss recent state house protests and how most people who try to exercise their rights forget something else that goes along with them: Responsibility and Reason.

In a video MC shared recently, Beau of the Fifth Column calmly and carefully describes what so many people are forgetting when they scream about their freedom to get a haircut during a global pandemic.

We get it. Times are tough. None of this is easy. Those of us in the three disciplines are lucky enough to remain employed and support our families while our neighbors and friends who own a small local shop or were our favorite waitress at the local burger bar are struggling. That’s no excuse to go crazy. This week the guys discuss:

• Are armed protests that ignore social distancing recommendations appropriate?
• Where does one person’s right to get others sick intersect with someone’s right to not get sick?
• When did everyone go insane that they can’t get into the Olive Garden?
• Even though HM gave himself a Covid haircut, how long can MC’s glorious locks hold on?

Instead of a BOLO this week the guys want to focus on the silver lining, the good stuff, the COVID POSITIVITY if you will. Listen to what they see as a benefit of all this sheltering in place.

If you absolutely have to go shake your fist at your Governor for trying to keep you from being killed by a global virus, at least wear a mask and stay away from other people. They have rights too, remember.
