Good to hear you're over it and yes, these mandates are pretty stupid.
I heard the Australian government is taking it to the extreme
About the addition to the household: I like to think that baby humans and animals ( especially the animals ) are cute, so they are being taken care of.
It sucks if you're an ugly baby.
Welcome to 'The Age of Stupidity / Idiocracy'! ;^)
Yeh it's monumentally stupid, but on the bright side it seems that more people are starting to realise that it's monumentally stupid, and then I hope things just inexorably and inevitably shift for the better because I hate bloody revolutions and the idiots that force them to happen.
Yeh I guess that works XD
