    Default Where do you draw your 'line in the sand'?

    Where do you draw your line in the sand with respect to current government pandemic measures and measures we can expect in the future?

    I have tried to create a list which to me, by and large, increases in severity
    with each successive measure.

    However everyone is different and one measure may seem severe to one person
    but not to another etc.

    I would like to hear from Avalon members about their personal line in the sand.
    I will wait for others to respond and then reveal what mine is/was.

    By ‘line in the sand’ I mean a pandemic/technocratic measure that you will refuse to obey, come hell or high water.

    Of course there would be many measures each of us would refuse to obey.
    I am interested in hearing about your ‘least severe’ measure that you would never obey.

    A few I would tolerate, for a time - some are an instant no for me

    If it becomes a requirement to be vaccinated to keep my job, I'm out the door without a word. There isn't a single person there I ever care to see again anyway.
    The only place a perfect right angle ever CAN be, is the mind.

    I drew my line in the sand very early in the 'pandemic' and have held firm to it ever since.
    Social distancing was my line. I don't conform to any of the measures.

    The way things are proceeding at such a rapid pace, I realize there is a very good chance I may never travel out of my country again in my life. As most know, once 'security' measures are put in place (a la 9/11) they very seldom are rescinded.

    I think it was Ronald Reagan who said: "There is nothing as permanent as a temporary government program." And, "The most frightening words you'll ever hear are: 'We're from the government and we're here to help.' "

    Other, because I did not find an answer in this poll. I think for weeks Neptune has been playing tricks on us, sinking the world into utter disillusion. it is my opinion and it belongs to me, each one of these beliefs and these tools so as not to sink into the loss of oneself, hope gives life ...
