The OP's post was quite obviously "tongue in cheek" or satirical or irreverant and not any more "obnoxious" than a lot of the opposite points of view posted here on TOTV yet s/he makes a very good point. Let those who want to run amok and "be free" and "Free the Villages" and be willing to give their lives for the rest of us (there were numerous posts saying they were willing to "live free or die for freedom and the American way and City Fire" in other threads) do so for the next 30 days and after a month the "herd" will sadly have learned a lesson and those remaining will likely be much smarter and probably thinner (in quantity not waistline). That's what they're asking for by just sending everyone "back to normal" just because they are so bored because they can't play pickelball and crowd into their favorite bars and restaurants.

I'm sure the big guy up north would love to hear that except he might lose a lot of his "peeps" before he really needs them by attrition.

Great post OP. I'm still chuckling how everyone unsurprisingly got sucked in by it.
