To all the priests, doctors, teachers, politicians, atheists, faith healers, snake oil salesmen, dictators, rebels and rabble rousers who think they have the right to tell people what to think or to believe or to not believe: You Do Not.
To all those who think they have the right to tell a woman what she can or cannot do with her body: You Do Not.
To all those men who think they have more rights than women: You Do Not.
To all those who think they have more rights than others of a different race or caste or religion: You Do Not.
To all those who think they have the right to tell people that they cannot change their mind about what they believe: You Do Not.
None of you.
No matter what you believe yourselves.
It’s really very simple.

I sure hope more people get this message soon Mick. (I can think of one guy in particular who could really benefit from this kind of wisdom-but based on what we’ve seen over the past 7+ months, I’m skeptical)

I don’t think he’s one of my followers, Gabe. But, hey-ho! It would be dismissed as fake news, anyway.

Yep, it really is that simple! All of us believe that our views are correct, but some of us also believe that means we have the right to impose them on other people. And that is incorrect!
