So, by it being "not that much different", you're advocating for government intervention. That doesn't jibe with what you said above.

That's not apples to apples. Let's see what would happen if the Gov't said no cigarette, alcohol, gun sales for the next 13+ months. Oh and no motorcycle riding either.

Not to mention shutting down Net54 for 13+ months.

Speaking of apples to apples, get back to us with your analogy when the simple act of riding a motorcycle, buying a cigarette, buying a gun, or buying alcohol has the potential to infect someone with a serious virus during a non-pandemic period.

And by the way, in case you weren't aware, second-hand smoke can cause cancer in non-smokers. Because of that, smoking is banned in many public buildings in many places. You can use that in an analogy if you're so inclined.

I feel this thread has run it's course. Just my opinion.

Agree... another vote for killing it, Leon.

The discussion about the Rangers opening game is long over. I have gotten immersed in this hobby in an attempt to escape from this stuff. Perhaps anyone who wants to debate this topic can move over to a different forum?

There are plenty others to read. Have yourself some fun.

You kind of harpoon your point with your second paragraph. You start by saying cigarettes, alcohol and guns can't hurt others (Really? Guns? You need that one explained?), then go on to point out how cigarettes hurt others. I'm sure there are thousands of kids growing up in homes where parents are smoking. What's the Govt doing about that?

Here's an analogy for you...Forcing everyone to wear a mask, was like the Gov't saying everyone has to wear a motorcycle helmet whether you own a motorcycle or not. After all, you might get hit by someone riding one.

Making stuff up doesn't prove a thing. Nor does it turn bananas into apples.

Where did I say cigarettes, alcohol, and guns can't hurt anyone? Where? Quote any of my posts where I said what you falsely claim I said.

And then, there you go again. In the same post. Making stuff up. When did the government ever say everyone has to wear a motorcycle helmet whether you own a motorcycle or not? The government never said any such thing. If I'm wrong, cite an article that says otherwise.

I don't know what it is you're smoking or drinking, but you should give it up. You need to try living in reality for a while.
