Many Americans have lost their ability to step-outside of their own ego to witness the ugly truth of what our nation has become. All in the name of 'their rights'. Those "rights" came from the sacrifice of others who gave more than they took.
It's pretty clear that you feel passionate about your right to wear a mask. Point made. You do you.
I realized a long time ago that there is no changing the mind of a person who isn't open to differing opinions. People who yell the loudest are the least likely accept differing opinions. I shared my views to hopefully give others something to consider. I usually try to do it without calling anyone names, being condescending, or resulting to ad-homonym attacks. Maybe I painted the comments with a broad brush out of frustration from being at home for 6 months. Sorry if that offended you.
We should maybe get back to arguing about the best oil, or brake pads, or tires.

No, you're right. I went back and reread your posts. I'd be hard-pressed to kick you in the nuts over anything you said. Sure, I disagree with some of it, but that's sorta the point.
I guess i, too, am susceptible to the divisive nature of nearly everything today. I mean, there ARE posts in this thread, calling people names for not masking, and it sets me off. Not because I don't want to wear a mask, but because those people you describe, who gave so much for our freedom, deserve the rest of us reminding others what freedom looks like.
Dissension is not a bad thing, neither is disagreement. But the shaming culture and all the SJW crap is just disgusting, to me.
My apologies for projecting onto you the general malaise I feel about this thread, haha. And thanks for calling me out on it. ;-)
