All of the “crawl into your rabbit hole and hide forever” dunces in Lampasas like Melissa Johnson, Chris McDaniel, Potato-Head Fitzharris, Bruce Haywood, Lee Morey, Lola Barnes, Julie Cain Landrum and Jennifer Moreno should listen and learn.
Every time we step outside our homes, the risks that we face multiply. A free society assumes that it’s citizens are competent to assess those risks, balance them against the avoidance costs, and to manage their decisions in a generally responsible way. It’s called common sense. And it’s a necessary prerequisite for self-government and liberty. The choices of an octogenarian with emphysema might be very different from those of a healthy governor of California. Only a fool would claim the omnipotence to make an informed judgement for every person in every circumstance in every community.“
