people are scared of one another right now, every stranger is a "potential carrier". i agree that the government is stretching the limits of what restrictions are necessary for keeping the pandemic under control. but i also think a traditional protest is a bad idea right now. gathering in a large groups with strong opinions and flashing signs will only make those strong opinions look stupid and discredit them. traditional protests in a time like this, are not going to work the will only present to the public a group of people performing a dumb and hazardous act that will make what you say irrelevant simply by committing the act itself of gathering.

what i suggest may sound radical and it hasn't reached that point yet really in my opinion. but small organized groups of people who "paint the town" with the message essentially. if you truthfully feel your freedom is being threatened, then do more than whine in groups about it. show organized disobedience. stencils of slogans and art can be easily and quickly spray painted. in and out. it will grab attention from media and the public. if the message is strong concise and passionately good hearted, even though the act itself is radical. it will show and stir thought among communities that maybe more questions are in order and maybe the government shouldn't be allowed do truly have unlimited power and say in our lives, even during such a crisis. because once you give away some freedom, the potential of more freedom than you are comfortable forfeiting due to fear has been opened. thoughts?
