JFK speaks about the role of the press and voices of dissent in a free society:

Today, crisis requires a one size fits all, guilty until proven innocent approach.

Americans were never meant to agree on matters of a personal nature. This is why we have so many different churches here and people who opt out on attending services.

Watch for scolding, shaming, and guilt tripping in dealing with the next crisis.

Even with a huge marketing and promotional campaign, many people rejected the vaccine:

 

Maybe all of the US should function like one, giant military base.

Freedom of individual expression could be fully controlled. No distractions. No dissent.

 

We were told we needed to send troops to Vietnam.

Syria, Lebanon, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

Some may have become skeptical along the way.

 

Watch for the next big crisis to be a climate emergency.

Sewage treatment outfall. Not stormwater.

Reporting on this topic appears to be completely off limits to the press.
