I lived in Japan for 10 years beginning in 1976 and the germ mask is common. In crowded trains and buses millions of people young and old , either to avoid spreading germs or to avoid inhaling germs. Its not considered weird there at all. They sell them in many different colors and some imprinted with graphics, cartoon characters or even photos. It is a tradition that goes back at least to the ‘50s.

That IS a man, baby.

The real problem in Utah is the huge number of returned LDS missionaries from Latin America. These people would rather sell out the US Constitution and the rule of law rather that enforce it against people they have sympathy with, thereby selling out their own faith in the process.

Hmmm....sounds like a movie pitch to me.

This was always part of the hidden agenda behind Obamacare. If we are all REQUIRED to have insurance, and the govt is subsidizing the insurance companies with tax dollars, then the government has to power to require those companies to jump through the governments hoops to get the subsidies. So if the government announces to the insurance companies that they must, inquire and report gun ownership as a condition of coverage, the companies, and by extension, the doctors will comply. Then, of course, its not the government trying to ban your guns, its the insurance companies ... private businesses, so the constitution is still intact.

Hey ten bucks is ten bucks.
