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.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Leper colony for the 4 allergic people
Gulag for the 10 million stubborn assholes, or death by chi chi- your option
Don't pretend you don't agree.

The good news is that can't happen. We're a free nation with laws to protect the individual. OTOH, like the Christian Baker controversy, sometimes there is a strong clash between the needs of the many versus the needs of the few.
I strongly agree with "my body, my choice" and even support the extension "A man's home is his castle". We're a nation of individuals who realize we like living in a nation of people with fair laws. I support the common sense rule of allowing cities or states to pass common sense health mandates in the middle of a national emergency and global pandemic. What kind of fucking moron wants to cut US business because they are too fucking stupid to put on a mask?
Why is this different from "No shirt, no shoes, no service"?....other than one is about a deadly fucking virus and the latter is about attire.
"Hatred is a failure of imagination" - Graham Greene, "The Power and the Glory"
Through no fault of their own, yes.
Nobody wants to contract covid after lasting this long, even if he/she gets it from an unfortunate person with allergies.
Those who can't take the vaccine just have to wait a little longer for herd immunity to kick in.
Or "herd mentality" as one particular idiot put it just prior to losing his election.
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969
I have my card that has all the information, dates, etc.
I am 100% in favor of having to use it to grant my access everywhere I go.
Let these criers, liars, and deniers do without!
They are dangerous, could get people killed, make people sick, and they are the cause of all the problems now!
Son-of-a-bitches should be wearing ankle bracelets and be tracked by local law enforcement!

Anyway, I figured I would need my card, so, I put it in the centre console of my vehicle. No one has ever asked to see it, though, and I believe the culprit here is HIPAA. I have no plans to fly in the near future, so, I'm not sure how things are at airports.
