Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
That's about what Trump has done his entire life.
He has worked so hard to rip people off, that if he simply applied himself with just as much effort, but in a legal and benevolent way, he would be far richer, feel better, and accomplish more for society.
He has cheated himself as he has cheated others.

So far, you still haven't simply admitted that my opinion, clearly stated in my first post in the thread, may have been different than what you still want to assume about me. If all this forum was was simple inane statements then we wouldn't be able to have conversations.
Asking questions is how I find out where Micawber, in this case it was him I asked the question to because I was interested in his response, stood.
My regular posting in this kind of thread:
I state what I think. (simple sentence too, very simple, "They have a right to protect themselves.")
Then I continue the conversation with a question to whomever I am quoting: "What about those who are allergic.... (so on)?"
I usually get a less interesting response, admittedly. Most folks aren't so simple in their beliefs as Micawber displayed here. He made it very clear that either you are like him, or you deserve punishment in some way. For one group a gulag, for another a leper colony...

I have yet to see a SINGLE MAGAhead or 'libertarian' on this board admit their stupidity and proclaim "I have not been vaccinated"
says all you need to know about these worms
Personally, in order to make folks feel safer, I would mix a response which would allow the allergic, or paranoid, or those who simply refuse to "carry papers" to still have a life:
1. Show you are vaccinated you can then be maskless in my store.
2. If you don't prove it, then wear a mask.
If you don't want to wear a mask and don't want to prove your vaccination then you can just move on to some other business.

I have to thank all the posters who are so confrontational that they make mountains out of mole hills just for the sake of confrontation.
The way it is totally works for me.
I come in, I scroll past most of what I see, comment here or there, get dismayed that there is so much garbage posting, then I leave and get back to better pursuits IRL.
If the whole site was as civil and cerebral as I would like to see, I would spend far too much time here.
