I'm only five hrs from the Cheeseburger festival in Caseville, MI and I'm a fan of the area. Summer can't come soon enough!

I wish this was true.

I remember when it was about -35 and I was dressed for it but I'd also had a bit of wine and I really needed to pee. F or C, close enough. I had to drop my snow bib and hike up my jacket. The wind was biting. I have never had a more uncomfortable pee, and I've had a couple of shy bladder moments, for reference. Such fun!

Man I just camped at Sleeper State Park in October, it's right next to Caseville, MI on the lake. That whole campground turns into a Halloween festival for the month, it's awesome. I bet those people do the cheeseburger festival right too. The only downside I see is I have to wait until Summer for it!

I will note though, that the cheeseburger festival isn't in Hamburg.

If we are to (correctly) have freedom ~~of religion~~, the working class must remain armed ~~to put down the religious' inevitable grasp at taking over the nation state~~.

Edit: I'm not disagreeing with your details, I'm just simplifying.

There are situations where I support jury nullification, but murder isn't one of them.

Although you don't like religion, it's one of the dominos that fall in the line of authoritarian control. When it falls, other dominos fall with it.

I haven't seen one since the early '80's, but yeah.

Not to mention it's in a town called Hamburg. What city council that wants to get reelected wouldn't want a self-promoting festival called "Hamburg"er? Notice, they didn't call it the cheeseburger festival.

This is true. You can threaten religious rights while supporting trans rights. You can threaten women's rights while supporting free speech rights. It's way more complicated than this.
