Virtually all reasonable laws are obeyed, not because they are the law, but because reasonable people would do that anyway. If you obey a law simply because it is the law, that's a pretty likely sign that it shouldn't be a law.

Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficial … the greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.
~ Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, 1928

An arctic air mass is bearing down on us, promising to blow out the omnipresent fog - and replace it with snow. It was breezy & snowing lightly this morning when I drove to work. That's a good thing. AccuHunch Weather guesses we might even see the sky by Wednesday night or Thursday morning - that would be the first time in about 10 days, if it happens.
On another note, the number of people here who are fed up with the shenanigans in D.C. - and getting vocal about it - is encouraging. That's a healthy sign.
Have a great day.
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

Good quotes.
Let's hope that the folks in D.C. haven't got their fingers in their ears. They seem to have forgotten the meaning of a representative government.
The first quote sounds exactly like Heinlein. Stay warm.
