Crisis and Fear
If we let fear rule over us and dictate our every move, no matter the cost, no matter the loss of freedoms, we have enslaved ourselves. We don't need chains, we don't need jails cells, nor doors and locks. Consequently, if we allow fear to rule over our logical, sensible mind, then we are truly lost, we are doomed by our own fear. Remember;
"There is nothing to fear, but fear itself." - FDR
"If one fears constantly, life is miserable." - L. Sumner - certified educator
Why is it that we can't begin to use common sense instead of panicking? We could use common sense to figure out that golfing for instance, is a low risk activity and the process of paying and the shear numbers involved in this activity at any one given time are minuscule and therefore present a very low risk to anyone involved. Why don't we start using this kind of common sense to open those businesses which fit the category of "essential";
because WE SAID SO!
Not because the Governor said so!
The Constitution was specifically written to restrict this exact kind of thing. Yet no one will challenge the perceived "Authority" of the government in an "emergency" to suspend by edict this very restriction upon THEIR behavior.
So instead of using the brains God gave us for common sense and reason, we are allowing government to dictate to us and create a one-size-fits-all solution without government or us, using even an ounce of common sense.
Instead of hiding in fear, I stand in COMPLETE and UTTER DEFIANCE of ANY UNLAWFUL ORDER which endangers NO ONE!
It's time for the PEOPLE using COMMON SENSE to decide for themselves what is and is not "essential". Can I get an Amen?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,.."
It's time to freely assemble! Use common sense precautions to protect from spreading infection, as in any communicable disease scenario, but ASSEMBLE IF YOU WANT USING COMMON SENSE! I'm not sick and I refuse to give in to the fear that I might get that way. I refuse to be afraid!
This is the very thing "THEY" are telling us we cannot do. Use common sense. Decide for ourselves. Enjoy life. Create liberty. Pursue happiness. Boy does this sound familiar. I think I've heard these words before. Oh ya, I remember now;
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..."
Your Honor,
I rest my case!

"With what you wrote. It clearly shows it is time we either alter or abolish our current government or we admit defeat and accept slavery."
"I believe this is all a test for their instituting the final set up for our total enslavement. The 13th amend says no slavery or involuntary servitude. People are currently voluntarily becoming servants! Slaves."
- Robert Becker
