So now I'm noticing along with these plastic dental floss things being thrown down all over the ground I'm seeing masks simply thrown on the ground too. Pathetic how lazy we are as a society.


What else is quite unnerving are these people wearing ball caps pulled down low, dark glasses and a bandanna or some pull-over thing as a mask walking around in stores. Every time I see one I'm expecting an armed robbery to occur.

Geez, what the heck is it with all those little plastic single use dental floss thingys? I see them everywhere!
People must be indiscriminately flossing as they walk down the street.
What can possibly be their train of thought?
"Oh, there's that poppyseed from the bagel this morning, let me pull out my zip lock bag of single floss sticks and grab that little sucker before it gets dislodged and I swallow it, wouldn't want to spoil my lunch this close to noon."

We must be surrounded by such intelligencia and the number appears to be growing.

Wonder how long before the first reports of a concealed carry citizen shooting a would be robber because of they are wearing a mask and ball cap?
I can hear it now, "Officer the store clerk's description matched them perfectly and they began to run when they saw the gun I pulled out." (all the while, the upstanding citizen shooter is wearing a ball cap and mask)

SMH!!!!

Coming from the North I can't recall but certain places not wearing a mask you were fined $500-$1000 I do believe

By whom? When? How? What percentage of those not wearing masks were ticketed? If one is expecting the police to do, thats absurd. Compare the number of businesses by the number of police officers not engaged other duties and what do you get?

That is the way it should be done if wearing masks is what you think should be done. The only reason we are not doing it is because it would cost our Governor votes, so he is choosing votes over lives. Pure and simple.

By that "logic" Cooper wouldn't require masks at all. Nonsensical.
