P&C drink and review Southern Comet, a New England IPA, then discuss the American Declaration of Independence.

People have a right to decide what kind of government they want. That is the amazing, radical idea that has led to hundreds of years of liberty.

Pigweed and Crowhill review some of the history — the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, and other things — and then run into the fundamental problem with the declaration. “All men are created equal.” Really? What about the slaves?

I’m sure you’ve seen the video of the armed St. Louis couple, and I’m sure you’ve seen lots of jawing on both sides.

1. The mob broke down a gate, trespassed and threatened the couple.

2. They had every right to defend themselves.

3. For the sake of basic gun safety, they should not have pointed their weapons at anyone, or put their fingers on the triggers.

4. If you were confronted with a mob like that, you would want an assault rifle, or a substantial weapon with a large magazine.

I would say that it’s the number of deaths, and/or the number of people in critical care.

“Number of cases” isn’t right because (1) some people suffer no ill effect, (2) we’re testing more, and (3) it’s very possible (as it has been reported by some experts) that the virus is weakening. Whether that’s true or not (I hope it’s true), “number of cases” is the wrong measure.
