July 27th, 2020 and NO ONE has accurate numbers on the virus. And these numbers have crashed the world.

I have been asking my friends not to believe what the media is selling.  I've asked them to think for themselves and not jump to the conclusions presented by (experts).  But they know better.  They think they have a good handle on what's happening because?  Some tell me that they only believe the information from certain websites because?  Because they have decided to accept the numbers presented.  The truth has always been that there is no consistent manner in which cases are evaluated. In the UK today we find out that if you have ever been tested and found to have the antibodies and now you are dead you are counted as a Covid victim.  So if you tested positive 3 months ago and today they find out you have died then you are counted as a Covid Death.  Wow, let's destroy our economy, force millions from their jobs, stop educating our kids and suspend civil rights on this data.  My friends think this is reasonable,  I don't.  And they believe that my opinion is damaging.  

I grew up during a time when we believed in the absolute need for freedom of speech.  We had a saying, 

"I don't believe in what you're saying but I will fight for your right to say it."   Today this has been forgotten.  People can't have open honest conversations anymore.  No one shares their opinion.  What happens now are two things.  People are free to agree with the government and media social engineering.  Black Lives Matter is acceptable.  All Lives Matter is not.  People are not allowed to voice alternative opinions because they are guilty of being uninformed and or even heretical.  Alterative opinions are to be criticized and those that do not accept today's politically correct dogma are to be punished. Dogma.

It's funny that many of my friends are antireligious. All Priests are child molesters.  And the church is sexist.  ergo it has no value.  What my friends forget is the church is one of the last systems that instill the concept of karma.  My friends attacked the church when Gay Freedom became popular.  My friends have never given any thought to how their encouragement of Gay Freedom led to the deaths of millions of gay men.  They have never asked themselves, "If we had kept them in the closet would they be alive today?"

They can't think in these terms.  They are infected with media Group Think.  Media says 1 + 1 = 3 and they don't question it.  They are not able to stand up to the Group Think because it has been designed to reinforce their bias. For women, men are sexist. They forget they are including their husbands, their fathers, their brothers. They have been taught to be racist, in this case, it's focused on gender.  They don't understand this is racism, this is discrimination. They overlook this because they want to feel powerful, equal, and they want revenge. Sadly, it only makes them less equal. Just as blacks attack all whites as the reason for their circumstance.  They are unable to take responsibility for where they are in their lives.  If a black man is killed by police it does not matter that a white man,  and men of every nationality are also killed.  They want what? justice? equality? why do they believe their violent actions will achieve this?  

But of course my opinion is, "privileged."  So it automatically is discounted.  Its a very convenient way to discount all other opinions, and lazy.  I have found that in general you get what you give.
