Because I wont wear a MASK!
here is our conv:
Daughter: It’s sad that masks are more important to you than spending time with me
Me: My individual liberty is extremely important to me. The mask thing is a form of enslavement. I will not participate AT ALL. I love you more than anything but I will not participate in this putrid intrusion into my human and civil rights and YOUR future is key in this.
Daughter: Good, I think the whole mask thing is a strange hill to die on within the context of civil liberties
Mother: Don't be a Lemming
You're not alone. Many of us are having similar conversations. Hard times.
