that "Going back to normal is a long way in the future and may never come!" It didn't escape me that you wisely put this in quotes. Not sure what "normal" is, or was. One might infer "going back to normal" is a version of MAGA. I'm pondering: "Let's make crazy normal again." "Let's make uncertainty normal again." "Let's make improvement normal." "Let's make the Golden Rule normal again." "Lets make funny faces normal again."

It is a snarky comment when you do it and it serves no purpose. And if you were a bit more thoughtful, you would realize if only one person is interested in it, or learns something from it, then it was a useful post and if no one was interested in it, there was nothing lost. And for your comment to be justified, every post I make like that, and you comment on, would need to be completely known by every poster here, every time, or someone lost out. See the logic? And what is this stuff, the top 20 posters? Is that how you judge a worthy post. Lot's of people read these threads and seldom if ever post. Even though they are not in the top 20, don't you think they count? And it is not for you to judge my posts as being too repetitive. If they irritate you don't read them. But allow others.. <,Message #325796 from elpolvo at 4/23/2020 3:09:07 PM I wish you would quit saying we all know this stuff-lol. I am quite sure that is not true. i really do try hard not to mention it because i know it upsets you. i actually do believe it is true. what was in your post that the top 20 posters on sioux nation don't already know? 1) is it that the covid-19 infection rate is unknown because of insufficient testing? nope. 2) is it that the only safe avoidance for NOW is social distancing? nope. 3) is it that we all need to work together (all around the globe) to stay apart and work on a vaccine or a cure. nope 4) is it that the red states are doing the wrong thing in not calling for social distancing? nope. 5) is it that "Going back to normal is a long way in the future and may never come!" ? nope 6) is it that "we need to invent a whole new type of society going forward with much more income equality." ? nope. i think those were your main points and i can't think of anybody here who doesn't know them. can you name anyone here who doesn't know these facts? did you start working on the wiki governance site yet?
