Regarding this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, should my title question
here even be considered a legitimate question?
To me, it seems like a slam-dunk, no-brainer of a question. I think to any reasonable, responsible person,
it should be a no-brainer, but…. Yes, always the dreaded “but.”
BUT… when it comes to mask-wearing, Americans are split between the more
careful among us, and the more daring among us. The answer seems to be a
hard “yes/no” for virtually everyone. Boom! No room for wishy-washiness there. :-O
Now the political kicker to
this is, in some kind of ironic twist, the more careful-types are viewed by the
greater society as likely belonging to the “politically liberal” crowd, and the
more daring-types are viewed as likely belonging to the more “politically
conservative” crowd. (See what I did there? Careful = liberal ~ Daring = conservative ;) To put it simply, if you wear a mask, you
likely skew Democratic; if not, you likely skew Republican. For some, it has almost
become an outward personal “political symbol/statement.”
Now some questions:
Q1: How does the whole of a society get
convinced that all its members should
“mask-up”; that it’s for everyone’s own
good?
Q2: Should/Can a society make all of its members mask-up.
Or is that a personal affront on our freedoms?
Q3: If/When you go out into the public, do you mask-up?
Q4: Are you, do you, skew politically liberal or politically
conservative?
Thanks for posting and recommending.
