Actually we never went in because they had a sign on the door that said Masks were Required.
This restaurant only recently opened in my small town in rural county. They only serve breakfasts on Saturday am. We were the only car in their lot other than their workers. Was the food ok? I wondered. How come no one else was there?
We noted the open sign and walked up to the door. When we saw the sign that masks were required we walked away.
One of the workers or the owner opened the door and ran out to say we are open. We said yes we knew and that you mandate masks so we will be going elsewhere.
They just lost a customer and some revenue they probably needed since there were no other customers in their restaurant. Knowing this rural conservative town.. they probably have lost a ton of other customers here, too. People here in general don't want to wear the masks.
I suspect they won't last the year.
I respectfully disagree. Our Founding Fathers were NOT rebellious. They had experienced Tyranny and oppression and it violated their religious beliefs. This nation was begun with the pilgrims who fled Europe to have religious freedom. The King of England was attempting to violate those basic human rights.
Our Declaration of Independence is a legal document outlining the reasons for the separation. The Revolutionary War was fought to separate us from an immoral tyrant. They made it clear that it was not a rebellion, but a legal separation. It is why we have a Bill of Rights. It is why they put their trust in God (they referred to Him as “Providence”, but dedicated this nation at its founding to God. This actually happened at the little church next to the Twin Towers. (For more about this, read the book, “The Harbinger” by Jonathan Cahn. )
I think you just described rebellious.
Perhaps you define rebellious as always wrong. But sometimes it isn't wrong.
Perhaps he is using a progressive dictionary. Who knows
Rebellion: defying or resisting some established authority, government, or tradition. Many people submit to oppressive, unjust rule. Americans rebelled against it.
A+ would read again
Fourth Turning by Straus and Howe was like that. Everything goes in cycles, and the cycles are predictable.
looking up...Harbinger...free...ebook...
Any chance you have an author in case my duckfu fails me? lol
let's compromise and say that Americans don't take kindly to illegitimate authority.
There's actually some interesting conclusions you could draw from this fact and recent events of the last few years or so.
The Shemitah also by him is an awesome read... I've read both...
