3. I could not care less what some ignoramuses in Idaho do. What I care about is this is widespread.

I went to the grocery today. I bet less than half had masks on, and some that had masks were dicknosed.

I have no doubt that if they announced a mask burning in my neighborhood park, I bet we'd get a hundred easy.

It reminds me of the mass burning and destruction of Dixie Chicks CD's and other merchandise. One mother was encouraging her child to say that they suck. The difference is that was just stupid behavior but the mask burnings could have deadly concequences.

It’s insane. The republican’s war on education and their dismantling our education system is on full display. We now have 50% of our population who have no critical thinking skills.

Harsh, but true.

Why should we treat them when it’s their stupidity that gets them infected?

Same should eventually go for the ardent anti-vaxxers.
