      Agree that Q did the right thing. Maybe the deep boogers might be a bit "much" but I think the mayor is doing the best thing to protect the health of Kansas City.

  4. So crowds of less than 1,000 will not spread the virus. Very interesting.

  5. Q acted before Trump.

    Trump's administration still hasn't issued any closure guidance or directives. Nada. Nothing.

    Companies, states and localities are left to make their own decisions within the national vacuum.

  29. With a stroke of a pen, civil liberties die in Kansas City.

    "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"

    "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Benjamin Franklin

  31. Geez- I might be the last guy to be the voice of reason. I'm ashamed of all the hateful crap I posted, but I still wonder if that's what was needed and if I'm right. So much here seems to be a personal fight betwixt two or three avenge laden warriors, when all I wanna say is that I believe most of the of the animus comes from those whose pride will never let them admit that-futtbucking tudes-- have us where we are today. I know that we all have a version of what "love" represents, and loss of those who actually represent it is going to hurt deep. Forget about all of our political agendas driven by hope and vision for the future, much of it selfish. I hope that everyone that is not looking to prey on anyone else- is blessed and healthy during the coming days.
