Good one!

Love the new edition of the “Darwin Award”!

Ironic, isn't it. And yet with some of them, they refuse to take delivery of it.

Denial may be THE most powerful drug.

And btw - I LOVE the wisdom of George Takei.

Frankly, I disagree with you on one point: if you don't want the shot you have a right to say no

I’m disagreeing with that more strongly every day. With a runaway virus that CAN AND DOES KILL, I don’t think it makes sense to let anybody wriggle their way out of it, for ANY reason. We all owe it to each other as well as ourselves, for the sake of public safety and the greater good. Seems to me we have to put selfishness aside. This is simple. This is not hard.

It’s come to that, seems to me.

We’re at a point where what the individual wants is increasing far outweighed by the needs of the larger group. And anyone demanding to be exempted better damn well have an objectively, factually, independently-verified reason for it. And then maybe they need separate living arrangements with NO exceptions, until this is certifiably over.

It may have to get that way. More likely than not, thanks to the naysayers who just don’t seem to want to give up.

And I’m sorry to be turning into such a hard-ass on this. I wish I didn’t feel that way. I wish I could be more “understanding” and “patient,” but when it looks like sheer pigheadedness to me, all sympathy and kindness just kinda fade away.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
