"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."
Arthur C. Clarke
Rep Landsman: "You're just picking on children. Our government is not supposed to be this intrusive. Your government has become incredibly intrusive. You're in our doctors offices banning treatments. You're in our classroom banning books. Now you're in my daughter's locker room"

Photo of a page of a newspaper showing the headline “one in three say COVID-19 response overblown: poll” The article describes dozens of opinions on the overreach and overreaction of the response and mentions 50% thought it was appropriate and another 13% did not think it was overblown.
In other words, a supermajority of two thirds do not say Covid-19 response was overblown.
The role of media ladies and gentlemen.

There’s an option and instructions to export from Goodreads and import it to StoryGraph. My attempt was not very successful and left most of my books off so I’ve been manually entering them.
