local government officials that "By God!" NO ONE is gonna make them wear a face mask.
(As an aside, the adjective "local" has become unnecessary when used in front of "government". "Local" is now the only government we have.)
These brainless tools insist that their "rights" would be violated and their "liberty" infringed by a mask requirement and that "the government has no business" weighing in on such a "personal decision".
A few questions for these children:
If your family is T-boned by a drunk who ran a red light, is it "ok" if the drunk insists it is his "right" to drive drunk and that "the government has no business" telling him where to stop?
Is it ok with you if the man who lives next door to your grandkids' daycare playground claims a "right" to let his pair of Bengal tigers out to frolic in his unfenced yard?
If the nursing home where your parent or grandparent resides hires unlicensed nurses, addicts and felons to staff the place, is it the "government's business" to shut them down?
Some people believe it should be their "personal decision" which side of the highway they drive on, whether they can cook meth in your apartment building and how young their sexual partners are. Are you one of them?
Wear a damn mask and stop whining about it or we are going to tattoo "I'm a big ol' DUMBASS!" on your forehead!

My husband replied, "100,000+ dead people would disagree with you."

(4,074 posts)"I", "us", "ours" are the keys to unlocking true freedom.
Totally identified with a subjective concept of "freedom", some bind themselves within their own constructed cages of fear and reactivity and rejection.
They are not free who can not be taught history, ethics and logic. The fearful are not free.
