Loading ...Of Masks and Freedom and Social Circles
Paraphrasing a very Good and famous quote. ( Can’t remember the Author)
Maximum Freedom and Maximum Safety are Mutually Exclusive .
In my world I get to choose to wear a mask or not to.
Either from research or common sense I come to a conclusion and make that decision .
If I choose no mask I certainly do not require / demand that you make the same choice.
However many who chose to mask do want to demand / require that I do as well…They believe My free choice
robs them of their “security” because I may infect them or a loved one.
This is the problem in a nutshell
Some of us humans value freedom of choice more than we value absolute security.
Some of us value living life to the fullest rather than cowering in fear of being near or god forbid ‘touching” another human.
This present situation is Not Orwellian it is far worse than he even imagined.
“They” ( Pubic Health Officials ) ~Freudian Slip~ in Ontario have a new twist. A new phraseology…as of today
Your Social Circle
They have expanded the number of people who can be together without “social distancing” to 10
The idea is each of us must decide which 10 to invite into our “Circle” and each of them must agree to belong to that circle…. and the best part is…and this is a real rule mind you…I am not making this up….I heard Christine Elliot Minister of Circles for Ontario say this on the radio…..ready ?
You Must Be True to your Circle !
You may not participate in another circle…One Circle per person . It can include any 10 either friends or family
but it is a CLOSED CIRCLE
I don’t know who is going to tell that biker group that drives by here every weekend …there are maybe 100.
Hopefully the Police will be out there making sure they split into 10 groups …and NO Cheating
sheesh
Can anyone see a problem ?
Husband wants his circle to include his siblings and their offspring and Wife wants to include Her side of the family.
So chose your circle wisely . Should be great for divorce lawyers eh ?
These incredibly controlling idiots who have been give the power of a God are treating us all like kindergarten children.
So Ironic
the Demonstrations / Riots are now all about abolishing slavery , removing / abolishing all statues of historical personalities who are seen in todays terms to have been masters of slaves.
And yet these same people are the willing slaves to this Marxist Gang who will control their every move in the name of safety .
Freedom and Slavery are mutually exclusive too

These Guys would NEVER wear a mask !

Freedom’s Just Another Word for Nothin left to Lose
It’s one thing for people to wear masks outside, biking, running etc.
What I’m waiting for is to see someone wearing one swimming this summer. LOL!
I’ve been carrying my green bandana around for two months, not washing it on purpose to just be rebellious.
I do put it on at times because I just don’t want any hassle.
But it’s funny, lately, I’ve just been holding it up to may face with my hand because it’s is a hassle to keep it on, it keeps falling down off my nose and honestly it feels so weird to even wear one.
I feel like I’m the only one wearing one, even though I’m not at all and I feel like a bank robber, which feels weird.
But what has been funny is that just holding it up to my face, often times others I’m talking to pull theirs down. There must be something in the casual message of just holding mine up that relaxes others.
Plus maybe a general feeling of being sick and tired of it.
But the people that wear them outside, it must make them feel special?
It’s so ridiculous!
I’ve been threatening to buy and start wearing a hazmat suite!
LOL Steins you rebel !

“Controllers” like the Ontario “health officials” or the provincial premier have no interest in logic. They know what’s best for you, and they make the rules. Which, of course, they never obey. I’ll take freedom and risk over slavery and safety any day. Most folks don’t know that over 90% of slaves in the U.S. (not just the southern states, the north not only had slaves, they also imported and sold them) were kept very safe. They were of great value to their owners, so they were fed and housed, and many were treated almost as family. General Grant kept slaves until AFTER the war and only “freed” them when a constitutional amendment setting them free was passed AFTER the war ended. Today, our slavery is not as obvious. Seeking safety is to end up in slavery. Completely contrary to the kinds of people who built two of the most prosperous nations ever – Canada and the U.S. Tough, hardy people, who thought little of safety and lots about living free.
The worst kind of slavery is the kind we don’t know we have entered into. And that now accounts for a large proportion of North America’s population. They are identified by the masks they wear.
Ah…now that’s the boomer I know and love
Classic Boomer ! The real deal 🙂
