"I've had this 'right to my opinions' discussion with more than one person. As I said, they have a right to an opinion but they don't have a right to their own facts."
I'm really tired right now, and the argument is still in development, so this is going to be cursory.
I don't agree that people have a right to an incorrect opinion. We -- and God -- accord people the freedom to be wrong, but there can be no right to be wrong.
That is an important distinction, because in saying that people have a right to an opinion, we accord opinions legitimacy just by virtue of the fact that they are someone's opinion, even if they are grossly mistaken, or even evil.
It is much better to say that people are free to be wrong.
As for the rest of your post, can't disagree. Wish I could, but I can't.
Those idiots at State are going to be responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people before this is over.
