People enjoying well-cooled workplaces should not dictate, enact or recommend mask requirements for warm or hot workplaces.

Further astounding news:

My face is inseparable from my rights, these superseded by nothing short of God. I am, like everyone else, above mask requirements beyond medical facilities. Freedom is the heart of safety the reverse never so.

The closer precaution enforcements are to herding cats — some of them tigers — the safer we all actually become.

Crushed livelihoods and trampled rights feature less preservation of life than pretense of it; fear of liability motivates one corporate somersault or government waltz after another, forcing onto faces — often stylishly! — the mark of “the new God,” safety … a poisonously complex concept against which Benjamin Franklin warned us.

Before rolling your eyes, or lecturing me on death, read more history.

Many think: Death exists; thus no one shall know convenience, comfort or joy until our solutions wipe from creation whatever we deem dangerous; all individuals — whatever the cost or degradation to themall must join our noble indoctrinations and sacrifices … or else.

Prejudicially mandatory equality courses; intermittently peaceable blockades; universal suffocation, figurative or literal … .

Hitler might smile — unlike the Founders, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. or countless American veterans.
