Semi-seriously!

Sometimes I think of radical actions to shake people up or make them think.

I'd say "You're offended by my not wearing clothes (in public)?!? Well I'm offended by you not wearing a mask in public! So, I'll wear clothes if you wear a mask! How's that?"

Let's get ourselves arrested for indecent exposure and take it to the supreme Court!

I did spend some time sunbathing on nude beaches in my younger days, but was never one for public displays of nudity. I've been reconsidering it a lot, and might even take part in one, for the cause, which is getting folks to embrace wearing masks like they do clothes.

My only fear of a hell if it’s real, is that it will definitely be filled with evangelicals, FoxNews and right wing radio, for externality. According to gospel I had to learn as a youth, all trumps will be there. So that makes me want to do the opposite of all this earth evil, under the mask of Christianity. Fire, bad, but all those assholes for eternity, that’s some damn serious deterrence.

been responsible for the biggest heath crisis in history. Trump doesn't wear a mask and him and supporters
call it a DEmocrat hoax. But a Trump supporter is wearing a mask to keep from getting the so-called hoax.

They want to drive up our taxes with Medicare, Medicaid and Emergency Services.

They want to drive up our Private Insurance premiums.


Let them go at it, once they sign a DNR & decline getting any Ambulance, & Emergency/Medical Services.

We're at the point where we have to treat most people as infected anyway.


It's just that private businesses have the right to decline their entry--that's what a Libertarian would want anyway!

with masks around their necks, as if they have them in order to go certain places, but then assert their right not to use them.

Also, several people with masks on their mouth only, not their nose. Some just don't know how to wear them correctly, but others just don't want to fully comply.

I bought a couple masks that show on the package 3 pictures. One pic covers mouth and nose with a caption that says "yes." One pic shows only the mouth covered, with the nose exposed and a line through it with the caption "no." The 3rd pic shows a mask around the neck with a line through it and the caption "no."

But people do as they want.

No armed rebels are at intersections shooting out the lights to protect their "constitutional rights". Why this??
