Forget about the young people. After seeing the pathetic cowardice on display among older people right here on FR, I’d say most FReepers have lost all credibility when it comes to criticizing others for their toughness in the face of adversity.
Needed a repeat.
It's a bit long to use as my new tag line, but otherwise, A+
Define tough.
Most freeper are not only tough, but some of us have brains. We don’t need Rush to tell us what to think.
What I do see is a bunch of babies who cannot sit still for four weeks. What I see is a bunch of fools who are greedy, who wish to run back to the bar—everyone else be damned. I see a bunch of people who simply cannot grasp the fact that staying home and keeping your distance is directly related to the reduction in the spread. They see the lower numbers and they want to run outside and play...like a frustrated six year old.
The rest of us are willing to be patient and carry the additional tax burdens over the coming years to make sure everyone gets through this.
And in the end...no one on friggin’ Free Republic is going to change anything. So, until we are “allowed out”, stop pacing like a pissed off monkey in a cage, pick up a book and relax. In a couple of months this will be a distant memory.
