Takes all kinds

I was in line in the store today and the two women in front of me were chatting. One of them was wearing a mask, sort of. Which is to say she had it pulled down under her chin, so you could see her face. 

Now look, these masks are pretty much useless for anything besides dusting stuff that you haven't dusted in a while, and mask mandates were a human rights crime that will never be punished. But as nice as it is to see people smiling again, I don't see why you'd wear a mask so that there's extra pressure pulling down on your ears. Just so you'll be ready if the government reimposes restrictions at the drop of a hat?

Maybe they think wearing a mask under the chin will hide their dewlaps. I don't get it either - it's all been a horrible experiment to discover how easy it is to control people's behavior. Plexiglass barriers and social distancing, arrows on the floors at stores, then there was the time when I had to put my forehead into the little slot at the dentist office so they could check my temperature with a hand held device. Since the powers-that-be were making it all up day by day there are too many examples to relate.

You're right they just might bring back the restrictions at a moment's notice. Here's some laughable excuses made by our local resident dictator.

What was it that John Lennon said? "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey." Yeah, maybe the masks do cover a multitude of sins for a lot of people. Grocery stores were a madhouse. The cashier would be scanning your items, but if the person before you hadn't left yet, you couldn't move up. Everyone was afraid of something, obviously, but it wasn't necessarily a virus.

Justin Trudeau didn't force anyone to get vaccinated. Anthony Fauci never shut down any schools or businesses. Not Me and Ida Know seem to have kept themselves very busy.
