“But I will forgo weddings and funerals and mass until I can do it without a mask.”
I just quit my hand quilting and sewing groups because the Community Center now is requiring masks. Maybe things will improve and we’ll be free again.
I assume there will be a miraculous change right after the election. Schools will try to be closed this coming semester and all will want to be open next semester.
Very sad. Everybody is so isolated and alienated...I guess that’s how they want us to be, since private associations are the enemy of state control. One of the first things the Communists did when taking over in Russia was to ban or take over things like local choruses, sports clubs, etc. I believe Hitler did the same in Germany.
This mask stuff is an easy way of achieving it. Not only will resisting people simply stop going (as I have done with some places) but even those who go will be hampered in talking with each other or doing such dissident things as smiling...in other words, making human connections, a true threat to Holy Mother the State.
