Ralph K. Ginorio 136-INS: FOOL ME TWICE

The past sixty years have been an unusual blessing, thanks to penicillin, Salk's Polio Vaccine, and other Wonder Drugs. Death by disease is a normal part of the human condition. To pretend otherwise is delusional. No government’s power can prevent us from being crippled and killed by nature. Tyranny cannot save us from the realities of human life. Never again must we permit ourselves to be corralled and branded like cattle. If our leaders ever again try to exploit a crisis like COVID for political gain, we must engage in a campaign of total and absolute Civil Disobedience, as did Gandhi and MLK when faced with injustice.
