I really hate having to mask up again. but I also hated flak jackets when I was in Vietnam. But I wore one, and it saved my life. The mask, although from several accounts it isn’t considered effective, apparently does save lives. I got the vaccine, no problem.

I was in Safeway, Hermiston, today. Straw count, 60% of the people unmasked. If you’re going to mandate, enforce it. If you don’t want to mask up or get inoculated, fine. I think that’s called suicide; it’s your life.

The problem is, because of your self-centered inconsiderate actions, you will infect others — and that, my self-righteous friends, is called murder.
