What if your road is blocked because of some damage or wreck ahead? Things get in the way at times. It isn't your right being revoked.

Yes, it was inconvenient that we had our in person church services interrupted. But we adjusted and were up and going the next week with online services. Restaurant owners adjusted when in house dining was interrupted and started providing pickup and delivery services.

A temporary hinderance for reason is not restricting one's rights. It is an excuse, as weak as it may be, for a minority of people to rattle their chains claiming government control. You have had no rights violated. You have just had your feelings hurt.

“Such hyperbole!“
LMFAO. This from the guy who compared getting a haircut and purchasing shoes for your child to forcing vaccinations and forced mask wearing! Priceless.

Here is the crux of our disagreement. You are willing to give the government any unquestioned power it deems it needs without question and make excuses for it. I am not.
