I too remember those History and Government classes, also a little over 40 years ago. It was one of our founding fathers I am told that said something similar to what we hear now "those that give up freedom for security end up with neither".
I also remember the "Vulcan" movie phrase "the good of the many out way the good of the few, or the one".
The movie trillogy I mentioned is one you should look up and at least read the premise. Many writers have warned us of the ability of Government to take control through the use of a crisis. In fact, a recent politician said the same thing.
Still, conspirisory theories aside, I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Does fishing by yourself in another county hurt? Not likley. Can we follow the guidlines and not do it? For a time, then like caged animals we rebel. If this clears up soon, and if life returns to normal, all will be well. If they declare a "new normal" and life and freedoms never return, ........ I will ponder this one longer.
