[QUOTE=CFrance;1833010] ...How you get them to respect adults and authority without using violence ... Even at the teenage acting-out stages, they never disrespected us or authority ...
Well, here's the issue. No, they should not be resorting to violence against these "authorities". I do NOT agree with what they are doing.
However, the constitution is the law of the land. Any other "law" that disagrees with it, is an illegal law and not enforceable. In other words, no man or government has the authority to force people to wear masks or socially distance or ???
Yes, they can quarantine sick people. But they have no authority whatsoever to force a free citizenry to do any of this stuff.
For reference: a portion of the 14th amendment to the US Constitution
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
Well, illegal laws are being created and enforced all over the place. Liberty (quarantines of healthy people) and property (closing of businesses) are being deprived without precendent.
Rebellion (non-violent) is the only solution to a government that assumes powers that it does not legally have.
