If you store batteries in metal containers, you can expect sparks. If you store your batteries in the same drawer as your bare wire, you can expect sparks. If those batteries are Lithium Ion type, they might smoke or even catch fire. The claim that taping AAA cells will save lives seems far fetched. Relevant parody/commentary from Reason TV: ▶ this video

> "people are dying" is the favored rallying cry for any number of poorly considered, knee-jerk reactions to unfortunate events. Brilliantly parodied in this music video: ▶ this video

We also need mandatory condoms because we know AIDS is a killer. We also need to ban all alcohol because we knows how it kills people both directly and indirectly. We know how guns kill, we need to ban them all. We know how knives kill we need to restrict their ownership. Trying to have a disucssion with folks like you is pointless because rather than striving for balance you only take into consideration one half. You are, as much as you may not enjoy it, just like an anti-abortionist or a religious person. No matter what point is brought up the responese is always the same: Babies are dying. It's happening because God willed it to. People are dying and we cannot let another one die. ▶ this video

> The point of a lockdown is to stop people who think like you from hurting others. So is the point of banning alcohol, unprotected sex, smoking, and junk food. Drunk people can fight me and kill me while drunk driving. Unprotected sex may be more pleasurable but if we want to stop hurting others then condoms must be mandatory. Smoking is an easy one, I can smell that from like 30 feet away. It's clearly getting into my lungs. Ban it completely. It's been repeatedly shown that obesity is a social disease. What foods would be banned in your area of the country? I'm having a good Sunday, enjoy this with me: ▶ this video Note that I'm a leftie and I love the video so I hope you and others can get over them poking fun at Elizabeth This is about choice. Stop the restrictions and let the people choose.

> If people are responsible and won't go to restaurants See here's the thing: Just because you and others like you have a certain definition of "responsible" doesn't mean it should or does apply to everyone. Should we ban skydiving because it's irresponsible? Condom-less sex? This is about choice. Re-open and let people and businesses choose. Have a laugh with me tonight: ▶ this video

> This isn’t about people making decisions for themselves Making decisions for ones self is exactly the principal that the USA was founded on. > You might be fine, but if you are asymptomatic, you can directly harm or kill others and not even know it. See also: Drinking, condom-less sex, smoking, and junk food. All of these things directly or indirectly harm others and if this is about public safety then it's time yourself and others start movements to ban them. The "you may be hurting people indirectly" argument never worked and it's getting more brittle with time. Have a good laugh with me this Sunday night: ▶ this video
