Covid-19 Lockdowns (A 28th Amendment “Right to Work” Necessary)?
Did You have to get a Covid-19 vaccine just to keep your job in 2020 (March - ) or lose it, like I did altogether anyway? I did lose my job for 8 months as a teacher’s assistant, mostly because I worked for a private contractor, not Trenton’s school district. Were you able to keep your job and was depriving US citizens the “right to work”, which is what it was, Unconstitutional? The Constitution, unfortunately, does not address the “right to work” issue. I believe we need a 28th Amendment to guard our employment against illegal government shutdowns!

@Julianne Anderson I got the vaccine once only for the fact that I would have been out of work many more months in New Jersey otherwise. It ticked me off. I also, for the 1st time in my life, didn’t think I was living in the United States of America! We never would have shut down in the 1980s for anything. Even Jimmy Carter, the 1st President I remember as a kid, would not have allowed that

@Maureen Greer To me, we weren’t the United States of America I knew, like a foreign country in my own State of New Jersey. I’ll say it, we had a tyrannical Governor shut down gyms, schools, businesses, and we didn’t shut down our own Easter party at our house. However, many were “convinced” not to attend, and didn’t. The government changed how families gathered, and that was not freedom
Patriots V. Terrorists (The Boston Tea Party)
Are freedom fighters someone else’s terrorists? Does it depend whose side you’re on? Not when you have NO REPRESENTATION!!!!!! In 1773, Samuel Adams, A PATRIOT, and the Sons of Liberty protested the tea tax by dressing up as Indians and tossing 200+ barrels of tea into Boston Harbor which caused King George III to blockade Boston Harbor “until it was paid in full” and militarily control Boston. The Intolerable Acts. Leading to the “Shot heard around the World” at Lexington and Concord! Your thoughts?

@Julianne Anderson from that point on, the American Revolution would become inevitable
Titanic to Lusitania ships(Technology foolproof)?
What makes the Titanic so compelling crossing the Atlantic Ocean? The Challenger space Shuttle’s explosion in the mid 1980s was unexpected as well! The Titanic’s VERY REAL sinking from an Iceberg such a beloved and tragic part of US and British history? It was never “Unsinkable”, do YOU know why? @Tom Peracchio could probably tell us.What’s your take? It was a Sister ship of the Lusitania (which help catapult the U.S. into WWI, sunk in a torpedo attack by the German’s unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917) Do you think Leonardo DeCaprio deserved an Oscar for his role in James Cameron’s 1997 masterpiece “Titanic” by the way Technically, I don’t care the scale of vessels still have to abide technologically to the laws of physics! 128 American were drowned on the Lusitiana, hit by a German uboat torpedo in 18 minutes I believe. Yes, It was carrying armaments for the Allies in WWI. Over 1,200 souls drowned of the Titanic that fateful night. Not enough lifeboats (how did they get away with that) We morn the lost but appreciate the technology involved. @Mark Osborne can tell us if “My Heart will go on” will be remembered in 100 years by Celine Dione, my guess is yes!

@Tom Peracchio it got through 5 hulls which did it in, correct?
The Truth (Does it Set You Free)?
We tell our children to tell the TRUTH, the 10 Commandments says “Shall not lie”. The 1st Amendment to the Constitution protects FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Especially, unpopular speech, not just against THE GOVERNMENT! What value do you put on “The Truth”? Should it be a defense, against other people’s reputations? Telling the Truth is not only moral, it’s a defense in Court. You can not be held liable (made to pay money), for slander (speaking) or writing if what you say is true. “Tell the Truth, or at least don’t lie” ! Billy Joel even had a song called “Honesty”

@Julianne Anderson me too and it’s disappointing. I obviously thinking “owning up” to a lie or something we do wrong is integrity! Well said.

@Mark Osborne you are exactly right of course. Civilization, even in America, still has to be protected by police, our courts, and for men, honor, integrity, start with truthfulness.
How Do You Pursue Happiness? (Or Entitled to it)?
Do You believe our U.S. Founders, Thomas Jefferson specifically ( along with Ben Franklin, on the Declaration of Independence committee), believed we have a Right to happiness? For instance, universal healthcare, college, add a house and car to that! Or are “we endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights . Among these Life, Liberty, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! “(Declaration of Independence)? What does the Pursuit of Happiness mean to you? I’ll start. We have to work for “stuff/property”. Communists nations lie saying everyone will have same (each according to their ability, to each according to their needs) (Karl Marx). Don’t believe it works in reality. Look at the former USSR and Castro’s Cuba!

@Julianne Anderson Life and Liberty (Freedom) appear specific, but the “vagueness” of happiness is brilliant framing , yes. When everyone can interpret it differently but they believe they know exactly what it means. Genius writing and persuasion!
