We went over the hill to visit the dentist today. Yesterday, the governor signed a law requiring people to wear masks in public. We took two of the dogs, because our hygienist appointments were an hour apart and there’s a park a couple of blocks from the dentist. You see where this is going?
The parking lot of the park was full. There were many people at the park. None of them were wearing masks. So, here in this affluent area, the attitude of the people seems to be, “Stay away from my breath or I will murder you.”
I know there are lots of people talking about society, but more than unrest in the streets (which at least speaks to collective action) this little walk demonstrated that there is no society. These people might as well be walking around with pistols, firing in all directions every time they exhale. That isn’t a society, it’s the opposite.
