[QUOTE="eclipsenow, post: 75129171, member: 274355"] Really? Gee, I thought that might be because your Federal government is absent during a crisis and people are on the verge of going hungry! The presumption that you'll [I][B]know [/B][/I]when you are sick is nothing short of outrageous! This is a sneaky virus, and you could be infected and infectious [I][B]right now[/B][/I] and not have a clue. Well, with robot-cars on the way and already safer than humans, be careful what anecdotes you use so loosely. Australia's telco Telstra had a chief scientific adviser tell the ABC that banning human driving by 2030 is not only probably going to be technically possible, but socially desirable by then. It will just save so many lives. Except this has a 0.5 to 1% fatality rate, so you're talking about maybe 1 to 3 MILLION Americans dying from this virus - and even higher if it spreads like wildfire and causes an overwhelmed health system. Then you might be looking at 3% or 4% fatalities. That's because it is the Christian thing to do! We're talking about saving someone's life here. Our Sydney Anglican church Archbishop declared all Anglican churches in NSW were going online [I][B]before [/B][/I]the government locked down New South Wales. It was simply the loving thing to do! And when all the shops and carers and hospitals and ambulances and services are infectious, how do these people... eat without getting infected? I'm seriously convinced that the Bill of Rights isn't the best way to guarantee human rights (something I'm passionate about), but that it instead breads a culture that is individualistic, entitled, and does not know how to handle a crisis or live sacrificially for others. When someone is raised being told life is all about my right to freedom of expression, freedom of movement, freedom to do whatever I want... they forget that this also requires commitments and community to uphold. I am very sad that so many American Christians have been warped by this individualistic worldview. Many Australian Christians and Christian organisations are quite terrified of what a "Bill of Rights" would do to Australia!
