The question becomes “is government overreach violating your God given rights?”

“So I’m sitting is a standing car and get ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt”

“I’m cruising down the highway enjoying the wind past my helmetless head, and get ticketed for no helmet.”

I show my minor daughter “British Teeth” saying this is why I take you to dentist.

So what should take precedence? Personal responsibility or Government control? Conservatives say personal, libs say government.

I don’t disagree, it is a personal choice, a lot of the ongoing argument borders on arguing to people who have made a personal choice and denigrating that personal choice.

See somebody wearing a mask and calling them out for wearing a mask when it’s a personal choice it’s either being argumentative or authoritarian over what would you consider to be unacceptable behavior.

As an example. in Japan in the 60s the ‘70s and the eighties and people donned masks (and still do) because they wish to as a preventative measure. And the prevention is for a myriad of things they personally consider to be a hazard to their wellbeing. I’m seeing that here in the states as well.
