Previous Episode: Realpolitik

In the State of Oregon (and other places), Government leaders have asked citizens to become government spies and report their neighbors for “violations” of COVID-19 Restrictions. There are toll-free phone lines and free anonymous apps and plenty of Law enforcement agencies that have said “Nope” to the whole idea.

There are, of course, two problems here. First, not EVERY Law Enforcement Agency has laughed out loud at the idea of sending resources to enforce these questionable directives. Secondly, there are a lot of questions as to whether or not this is a good idea in the first place. I’ll answer that: It’s not.

In fact, it’s a terrible idea that, as you may or may not know, it has been tried before here in the United States…

NOTE: I am going to take the rest of November off. I will be back on the 1st of December as we wind down the year. Thank you again for all your support and comments (I do read them, even if I don’t respond) and for being a part of this experience. I appreciate you and I look forward to next week!
