What is it you aren't believing? That people don't agree with you?

Do you remember Chris Farley? He went into rehab 17 times. 17. Then when he finally died from a drug overdose his sheep followers all mourned the "tragedy". Tragedy? Really? He chose to do those drugs. They killed him. At some point you have to point that finger in the right direction.

I'll stop right there and let you draw your own conclusion.

Though I'd like to leave you with this thought. Think about how you'd handle being the reason someone dear to you died from Covid. Spouse, kids, jam mates...

Is it likely? Nope. Is it possible? Yep. All because of some chip on the shoulder attitude about wearing a fricking mask for 6 minutes a day when you are in close proximity. You don't have to have Covid to pass it, the same way you don't have to have the shingles virus to pass it. I got shingles at 50 from a 4 year old kid who was in daycare with a kid who had measles and his irresponsible parents sent him to daycare anyway. So I got shingles from that virus because someone else I didn't even know chose to selfishly defy polite behavior. How is it that people who get shingles vaccine, flu shots, pneumonia shots, refuse THIS vaccine? Because it started during the term of a president who resisted and ended up getting it? Is this some last vestige support for the deposed president?

I was at the VA last week and some old loudmouth type was going on and on to all the people in the waiting room (None of whom asked, by the way, and all were trying to ignore him.) about how "Covid is just like the flu." I walked over and calmly asked him "Have you had Covid?" He said no. I then asked "Then on what do you base that opinion?" Crickets. Then I asked him "Have you ever said 'This tastes like S**T?'" He said yes. I then asked "So by that statement, can I deduce that at some point you have actually EATEN s**t that you know what it tastes like to make that comparison?" Again, crickets. And then I closed with "You should really STFU because you are embarrassing yourself in front of all of us fellow veterans, none of whom care what you think." He moved to a corner of the waiting room where he was alone. AND kept talking. I expect that in the psychiatric area. Not ophthalmology.

Similar in concept to those annoying people who tell you 8 times in a 4 minute conversation that they are vegan...

What shocks me more is that nobody asked for the page I prepared about the savagery that happened in my city with "no witnesses". (The victim is still alive, but it was touch and go.) Police have interviewed him a few times but he continues to say that he was grabbed from behind initially and when the beating started he was struck so fast and often that he can't identify anybody. And the video system "failed (ahem)" at that exact time window. While it started over him refusing to wear his mask, he took the beating he got because he was bullying a young girl, so I can't say that he got stomped within an inch of his life over a mask. THIS time he got caught bullying someone, but that demonstrates a character profile where you know he does it all the time. And that's where I live. Not on a 30 acre estate. I am not only in a city, I am in the 'hood of a city. Rules are different in the city. It's not like Liberty City where Billy lives, but we have similar areas here to avoid after dark.
