Hey, @bashadow.
The recall has been underway for a couple of years now. Problem is, rural vote, where the recall is predominantly happening, can't override the urban areas.
It's rather disheartening and disappointing that the greater good, regardless of what it is, seems to trump everything else, including freedom.
When enough people are scared or concerned about something, that seems to be all the impetus officials need. Actually, they'll take over on less, but I think there are enough people here who think they're doing the right thing that it doesn't matter what the Bill of Rights says.
That's not to say there aren't those who are speaking out against. There are. Unfortunately, they're not being heard enough or being taken seriously. Science, after all. :)
While I'm in total agreement about the church attendance and praying, the Northwest isn't the best place to solicit the former, though some of the latter still takes place.
