    Maybe it's time to amend the Constitution to start out "We, most of the people..."

          People that don’t wear masks should be de-prioritized when healthcare is at capacity and their employers should be notified. It’s one thing if you don’t wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle and another if you are drunk driving.

            Rabia chaudry is the aunt of that guy who strangled the high school girl for fun and almost got away with it because Ira Glass is a douche. Rabia really likes that strangler guy, he’s her favorite person in the whole world.

                  What’s weird to think about is you could totally meet those people at the Publix or Winn Dixie or at a kid’s soccer game and have a totally normal conversation with them about all kinds of things and have no idea they’re this insane.

                    What a goofball (the guy in the video). I would have had more respect for him if he gave his big speech about not being muzzled if he went up there naked!!! Why stop at face masks? What about shirts? What about skirts? What about pants? 🙄

                        About 5 days ago, I posted this on our town's Facebook page:

                        "A plea for masks.

                        Though the effectiveness of mask-wearing is considered controversial by some, the simple fact is this: If you want to shop or be in a public place you're required to wear some kind of face covering. The fact that you "don't think it helps" is irrelevant. It's required. Full. Stop.

                        That said, if you're going to wear a mask (and after my rant in the previous paragraph, you're going to, right?), please make the effort to wear it properly.

                        I was in our local grocer's this afternoon and saw at least half a dozen people with their masks down below their nose. Unless you're 100% mouth-breathing (and that's impossible unless you've got a clothespin on your nose), that makes the mask totally ineffective. If your glasses fog up, pinch the nose portion to make a tighter seal.

                        Wearing a mask that just covers your mouth is just as effective as not wearing one at all.

                        Thanks.

                        This comment generated 73 responses, most of which were positive.

                        And then there was this one:

                        I will not shop where a mask is required. Sorry I’ve been taking my business elsewhere.

                        I responded:

                        Your choice, and good luck finding such business.
                        If you don't want to wear a mask, that's totally fine.
                        But...stay away from me.
                        Your right to not wear a mask ends where the right for me to stay healthy begins.
                        The same logic applies to vaccinations. If you don't want to vaccinate yourself, or your kids, that's just fine. I suppose you have that right. You do NOT have the right to endanger me, or my kids because of your choices.
                        The same logic applies to smoking. If you want to smoke, have at it! I loved smoking. I still miss it! But, I don't have the right to expose those near me to second-hand smoke and it's attendant dangers.
                        As I said, good luck. I hope that those around you are careful so that you stay healthy.

                              She did a degree in maths and physics at the same time I did, although admittedly it took her longer to graduate.

                              Where did I go wrong? I could be fiddling about with vaginas and I'm doing this!

                                  Wearing the mask is not required until the requirement is enforced.

                                  Lock 'em up
