That doesn't even touch on the loss of liberty, intrusion on freedom, and the "mommy state" telling us what we can and cannot do. "Wear your jacket!" "Don't go outside until you put on your Wellingtons!" "I'm cold, you need to wear a jacket." Freedom means the individual gets to choose what they think is best - even if they are wrong. If someone feels they are at risk, they can stay home. Or wear a mask. Or keep 12 ft away. But don't force me to hide under my bed because you are afraid, and I won't force you to leave your house and take off your breathing mask. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
