Yep, temporary. Just like that whole patriot act...thing.
...yawn
As I understand it the patriot act was introduced to combat terrorism , it could be argued that as terrorism still exists the patriot act thing still exists.
Terrorism has always existed and we did well long before the Patriot Act.

What can you say about a state that does not allow the sale of guns, seeds, plants, baby car seats, house paint, and weed killer.
This is the problem in a nutshell. The restrictions are completely arbitrary, heavy-handed, and defy any kind of logical justification.
You're free to gamble your money away, but can't plant a garden? My kids are not allowed to go visit their grandparents (who live 2 blocks away), but I can go buy weed?

You do understand the reasoning of non-essential journeys. Yeah, it's about stopping the spread of the virus but it's more about if you have an accident and have to be admitted to hospital. Will you then grumble about not having a bed or lying in a corridor for a few days.
Not withstanding the total BS about empty hospitals, you put yourself in that situation not the virus patient, yet you'll want treatment immediately on an overstretched system.
And don't say you wont have an accident, no one can foresee that eventuality.

I'm hoping it goes a little sideways, someone needs to put some fear into the politicians.

I'd like to see it go more than a little sideways, to be honest. It's been a couple centuries since the American people put the fear of God in tyrants and fertilized the tree of liberty... now really seems like a great time to remind politicians what happens to tyrants when the American citizen is properly pissed off at them.

I am kind of curious why other states aren't doing this?
Is our governor the worst? Are they ok with what is going on in their state?
