glad1, the Federal Government is likely not intimidated by your threat to use lawyers. They have many themselves. They are godless wretches who are in thrall to the Devil. They have long since made it clear that they fear neither Christians nor the Lord. Take heart though; this Niles is sent by the Lord to cleanse the city of the wicked. Many fear mostly the name of this virus, as it is associated with a notorious saloon, Niles Wine Bar. That awful place was shut down by the Christians of Alamo Heights, who marched en masse against the place and forced Niles himself to sell real estate. Christians will not be harmed by this disease, though the wicked will be lashed. If you are an upright and God fearing man, then go about your business in peace, knowing God is with you. If you are not yet saved, seek Jesus now or pay the price. If you are one of the Devil's people, prepare to meet him in the fiery pit, as the Devil's lawyers will do no good.
