I’m unwilling to agree to ANY of the measures because I know my acceptance will only encourage them to impose the next step. I may very well die of covid because I refused to wear a mask, but it’s a stand I’m willing to take to prevent or retard the imposition of more harsh and freedom-limiting measures. No matter how effective or ineffective a mask might be, someone has put a frog in a pot of cold water and the mask is the heat being turned up.

I agree with everything you said and your final paragraph sums it up well.
I am haunted by 6 words spoken by a holocaust survivor in an interview I saw many years ago. When asked why they got on the trains without putting up a fight, that dear little old man got a look in his eyes I do not have the words to describe, then hung his head, shook it slightly back and forth and said: “it was just one more thing . . .
That’s an amazing parallel to what’s happening now and I’m alarmed that so few seem to see the bigger picture clearly. This isn’t about masks at all. Thank you for sharing that powerful story.
KC.....that....just gave me chills.
If you do find that link, I would appreciate a ping :-)
