All the wrong questions. No viable answers regardless.

To mask it not to mask is a straw man for the real questions. Individuals are talking past one another. The answers to the real questions are fire to the current powers. No side has acceptable healing answers for the wounds of mask v nomask

Can I force YOU via public humiliation and scorn to comply with the public opinion. Answer: YES is the popular response as you would expect.

Can YOU choose to stand and be counted on defending principles of liberty in the face of friends and family who are afraid? Answer: YES.

Are their consequences to defying popular public opinion? YES.

Am I allowed to act in a way that YOU disapprove of? YES for now.

Is there a defined boundary for medical authoritarian orders implemented by governing authorities for the greater good? NO - even the Bill of rights is being squashed at the state and local levels...

CHURCHES are fearful to defy the government and are choosing to impose restrictions(which is their right) succumbing to tyranny of the minority and majority simultaneously. The members’ rights are non existent beyond attend or not, give or not... this is not new but it is unfortunate.

All of this bothers me deeply as I’m committed to individual liberty. Merging medical and legal authority in a collective politically charged environment is a disaster for everyone.

Is there a way to go back? The answer appears to be NO.
Are there lines that I will not cross and are they getting close. YES.
