My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An interesting taste of one of L'Amour's stories of the old west. I may have to pick up some of his actual novels. Nice art work in this graphic version.

an "acceptable sacrifice" of our children?

What a concise distillation of where we are and how we got here, especially interesting with respect to the school situation we are facing for Fall semester amid COVID-19!

Apparently, it has been decided by the powers that be that there is an acceptable number/percentage of children that will be affected or killed by COVID-19 that "we" should be willing to accept in order to reopen the schools before this virus is under control. And guess what, children (under 18) don't get to choose this risk. The powers that be are choosing for them. Parents and educators PLEASE resist this "acceptable sacrifice" as the price of getting things "moving" again. We as a nation are morally and ethically bankrupt.
