I have to vote next week on a city mask ordinance. I will possibly be the only one to vote no but I am telling you that I am sick and tired of this BS. When we feel our family is at risk, we take actions to protect ourself. This may mean that we have to give something up that we like. But, I don't feel like it is your responsibility to take care of my family. You shouldn't have to quit living life for the convenience of my family. And likewise, I shouldn't have to quit living mine.

Small government and self accountability are good things.
The problem is that your actions affect the group. The idea of small government and personal responsibility is a good slogan, but it falls apart in the face of public health. People aren't taking personal responsibility. I'm not a fan of the government telling me how to live my life either, but public health is much more complicated than that. We don't all live in a bubble when it comes to public health issues.
