Mr. Brown:
As a son of Canada, perhaps your tolerance of "petty tyrants" is more fully developed than mine. Americans in general and this American in particular have very little patience for such people. To a fault, I am genetically ingrained to almost-rabidly resent and resist such people. My family and ancestors have been involved in the fight against the forces of tyranny since the very beginnings of the history of this country. My earliest-known ancestor arrived here in the 1630s and... it is not going to be on my watch that those precious freedoms and liberties, that I have known and enjoyed (wallowed-in, actually!) throughout my life, would be surrendered without a fight-to-the-death if necessary. I consider these things to be my most crucial, critical, and ultimate birthright, and I suspect that I am not alone in that deeply-held commitment.
I am happy that you can so-easily trust the "experts" that help guide and control your populace. Many (if not most) of the experts here in this country seem to be badly compromised for a number of reasons, and their "highly educated" advice often conflicts with many of my deeply-held values. I am immediately suspicious of any edict that attempts to curtail any of those hard-won freedoms, such as I am now with these "lockdowns". I am fervently hopeful that how all the people currently in power (state governers mostly) react to these challenges are long-remembered.

That is one excellent post, with which I whole-heartedly agree.
