I wonder--will the states which are willing to let people decide if mask wearing is "right for them"

[Atticus]

also let them decide what highway speed and which side of the road are "right for them"?

Why should a state demand that citizens "give up their rights" simply to drive a vehicle on public highways? Aren't these choices that should be "left to individual Americans"?

Hm-m-m?

1. And seat belts.

And wearing pants to the grocery store..

And..
And...
And....

Same.

6. I never wear pants- dresses and skirts are much more comfy.

Kidding

I love pants... though dresses are my preferred sitting on the couch attire.

3. We enacted a motorcycle helmet law here in Delaware years ago

The idiots protested against it, and they finally settled on, well, even if you weren’t wearing the helmet you had to have it with you. So a whole bunch of so-called macho guys we’re going around with the helmet strapped on the back of the seat. It looked pretty stupid. And I wondered how stupid they would feel when they were flying over their bike onto their head and could see the helmet protecting the seat of their bike.

8. This literally happened to disability rights activist and film maker Billy Golfus.

He was riding his bike and got slammed by someone, went flying and ended up with a severe brain injury.

In his documentary ("When Billy Broke His Head and Other Tales of Wonder&quot he describes the accident, and then jokes, "Good thing I had a helmet strapped to the back of my bike" or words to that effect.

He spent time in intensive care in a coma, and then underwent a long and difficult rehabilitation.

The film is well worth seeing, if you can get hold of it. A really nice introduction into the disability rights movement of the 1980s and '90s, and a glimpse into the life of someone recovering from that type of devastating injury. Despite the serious content, Golfus has a nicely twisted sense of humor that places the film outside the usual "inspiration porn" such topics generally elicit.

9. At least he maintains his honest sense of humor. Sad story, though

It’s good he turned his misfortune into energy for a good cause

4. If it were really a live-and-let-die choice I wouldn't mind as much...

It isn't. These States with their "right for them" attitude which is in fact, "RIGHT for them" know that their minions will keep those who choose to protect themselves and others from privately going about their business via intimidation and violence.

7. Don't give the lege any ideas.

Already the speed limit laws keep creeping up...

12. Ooh ...

I would not want to drive that fast. Arizona, when I've visited family, had limits of 75 and that was through the mountains.

[Elessar Zappa]

15. New Mexico is 75 too.

Of course, I love going fast so I wouldn’t mind a limit of 85 mph.

This sounds just like South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.

11. Republicans, the Party of Hypocrites.

13. Or not give their kids ANY vaccines.

That was deadly enough in those states that allowed exemptions and outbreaks.

[Chainfire]

14. I am waiting for our governor to outlaw the wearing of masks in public

because of "security concerns."

I was in South Georgia last week and I think that mask wearing must be illegal there. I saw none......

I am pretty sure that he usage of turn signals must be illegal there too.

16. I can't decide whether

To store nuclear waste in my back yard or start a hog farm. It’s my property so I can do whatever I want. Zoning regulations are for cucks.
