...speak my mind and see the result from locogringo .. where is the value in that for locogringo or me ? Thanks for allowing me to live for free in your head. There's definitely enough empty space. Will you be running away for another week now?

Really busy.. BUT .. Honey_Bee reco'd that post.. and YES I do not like her thread because it is not inclusive BUT no different than the LIB threads which are non inclusive.. .. AMD formerly .. descends into meaningless rancor the others are choirs I do not know what the solution is.. but Honey_bee's reco tells me there is hope.. that folks can actually see the other side as more than something to dump on.. I know my post was saying R country is not automatically bad.. but it is true.. HB reco's the circumstance.. that we are all in this together.. That is a HUGE reco in my opinion.. and a very hopeful sign.. When Siouxpal passed Isopatch (Guy that led me to SI) posted to my comment on my post wrt his passing in a very positive way.. despite being diametrically opposed politically .. We have to realise that we are all people..

What is this talk about " how we are all in this together." It doesn't feel that way to me on a number of fronts. First of all, I can't wear a mask because when I take it off even after wearing it a few minutes, I get tightness in my throat and upper chest. I also get pains in my chest. And I never feel this way when the mask is off or when I am jogging. Sometimes I get a worker in a grocery store or super market, telling me that I should wear a mask. When I tell them about the tightness/ pain, they tell me that is the rules. I then tell them that I am not Jesus Christ and won't die for the rules. They then say ok and leave me alone. No one has asked me to leave. Now I suppose I could wear one of those flimsy, face shields, which I recently got yesterday for free when I walked into a casino. Secondly, lots of conservatives here in Nevada think it's BS to wear a mask. I have been to a few doctor's offices where the doctor didn't even wear a mask and they all told me I didn't have to wear one except when I was in the waiting room. Lots of people here wear a mask grudgingly. When we go to dog parks, 95% of the people don't wear masks. People wear masks in grocery stores and then take them off when they are outside. The governor has been caught a few times not wearing a mask at a restaurant when he was not eating. That is to say, most people hate wearing masks and do it grudgingly at work because the business they work for may get a fine if they are caught. I rarely wear a mask and neither does my wife or sons and their families. And lastly, there has been lots of disagreement and bickering over the proper course that should be taken in regard to the virus. The sentiment here is far from being in this all together.
