It is because we weren't asked is the problem. Had the majority of Orange County been asked and agreed to the help, this wouldn't be a problem. Because we weren't asked, our right to make decisions has been taken away. It makes me worry for what else might come with this that we're being herded into.
We can call that paranoia but I, and the majority of my readers need some fodder for discussion on how we can keep this from happening again. Besides not getting sick.
