I think about this scene all the time. To me it is the essence of government. It is what government does. It is a small step from mask mandates and vaccination passports to the burning of daughters for "the greater good."
I can see Biden and Schumer and AOC and Liz Chaney and Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy doing this. Australia is a canary in the coal mine. Our liberty is at risk. Our Constitution is on the fire just as this poor little girl is in this harrowing horror scene. And we turn and walk away like the soldiers in this scene. We avert our eyes.
It gnaws at me.
