Theres no way that people who were drinking and dancing were following the social distancing guidelines. No way. Just because you say it dosent make it true.

Unfortunately for this rant, the Constitution isn't the only thing that comes into play in our daily lives. Society always has & likely always will set limits regarding what is or isn't tolerable - they are called laws.

As others have said, your individual rights don't mean that you have complete freedom to interfere with mine. At least I'm pretty sure that's not in the Constitution...

I don't get why some don't get that.

I get it just fine. It's called CONTROL. If anyone is worried about social distancing and getting COVID-19, they can just stay home and listen to the radio and dance naked in their own homes.

I don't understand how so many of you have given up your rights under the US Constitution .. inalienable rights ... and have traded liberty for perceive safety. The PRIMARY focus of the US Constitution is INDIVIDUAL rights; not collective authority. The Constitution exists to protect the INDIVIDUAL from the whims of the masses.

Tired of the ignorance so many display.

The problem is and always has been that people are concerned not so much about the ones at the bar, but when they come in contact with them at a grocery store or post office, doctor's office, whatever. It's also a pretty safe bet that they will be the ones not wearing a mask too because it infringes on their rights to do what they want.

I haven't ventured out to any restaurants yet and don't plan on it but I could really care less what others do as long as I don't come in contact with you at a gas pump or store or something.

I personally would not report someone for reckless behavior, I would more than likely just shake my head and keep on driving.

The squares are all private property owned by the villages. That's why you can legally walk around with open alcohol. Since all the land in the squares is private property, the owners, can allow or not allow anything they like, so if they say no outside music, then no outside music. Simple as that.

So if you contract Covid 19, where will you go when your lungs fill with puss & you can’t breathe? Will you expect others to take care of you, such as a hospital or will you be doing your own thing at your home? That’s what this quarantine thing is about. Why isn’t anyone squawking about opting to NOT carry auto insurance? I do believe that is a mandate...

[Ndomines]

I agree. It’s been so nice driving around as well. Cruising down 301 at 95 mph I found it quite liberating. Due for some me time I decided that as long as I was
Missing the oncoming traffic it was nobodies business and I am a better judge of what’s is or is not acceptable
Public safety guidelines.

And an agreed upon constitution - so there is order of an entire society - we share in a form of life. Your rights are not to impinge upon mine.

Part of a bigger plan to see how far they can push you before you would rebel......

Some people let the media scare them and dictate what they should do. I'm not buying the scare tactics. I'm over this overblown flu that's got people cowering in a corner and scared to live like they want to

just stay home and let me be

The Constitution defines the power of each Branch of Government to prevent one from becoming too powerful. The Founders had just fought a war to get away from a King and did not want another one.
