From the article:
This is tyranny.
A free country does not strip its citizens of the right to work by edict. A free country does not dehumanize its citizens with mask-wearing mandates. A free country does not suspend the right of citizens to travel freely within its borders.
“ This is tyranny. A free country does not strip its citizens of the right to work by edict. A free country does not dehumanize its citizens with mask-wearing mandates. A free country does not suspend the right of citizens to travel freely within its borders.”
Great quote!
But I have a a question... maybe someone can answer it.
How much of this tyranny is actual law, and how much self-enforced?
The reason I ask, is because as I enter bars, restaurants, stores and offices here in Southeastern PA, nobody seems too sure.
It’s all anyone is talking about, and of course, opinions vary regarding whether the distancing and shutdowns were necessary or pointless - but that is not my question.
For the MANY who don’t think anything ever should have been shutdown, or that mask wearing was necessary, opinions vary regarding whether we are doing this
A) out of respect for others fears
B) because it’s the law
C) because the private establishment requires it
D) because of vague rumors of enforcement
E) because it is “patriotic” or “politically correct”
Seriously, even the OWNERS admit to being confused about why they are following the guidelines, and to what extent. Some owners have heard stories about another establishment getting busted. Some say they want to attract all types of customers, so they try to strike a middle ground. It’s a weird situation.
My worry is that if it is this unclear whether it is forced, semi-voluntary, or voluntary, then how do we even end it? If we don’t know why we are doing it, how will we know when it’s time to stop?
