Can you believe they won’t let me a have a bunch of drinks and go site seeing in my car? That’s just wrong. I can’t believe I can’t drive as fast as I want through a school zone or around a stopped school bus. After all I’m late for work and they want me to jeopardize my job. Dam government. Can you believe they won’t let me smoke a carton of cigarettes in a restaurant? Hey if other people don’t like it they should stay home. Can you believe I have to go to a gun range to shoot my weapons. I should be able to shoot cans in my backyard with my .357 magnum. If the neighbors don’t like it they should stay indoors. Based on some of the comments I’ve read it would appear that some would actually want to do some of the things I’ve listed above.

For those who feel we should immediately get back to playing pickelball, dancing, restaurants, etc. let me tell you how I feel. If I should get the virus even though I’m doing what’s right then so be it. What I don’t want to do is spread it to someone else.

I really don’t know the folks that said if I get it while I’m being “free” then that’s the breaks. If you get it that’s fine with me. But if you’re so reckless what makes you think you won’t give it to someone else, maybe even a younger person with a family. Reality check – some younger people do get it and die. Don’t you care about giving it to others? Probably not. Well why don’t you look closer to home? There are plenty of people who, unfortunately, think like you. So, what do you think of them sharing the virus with the younger people in your family such as your children or grandchildren. Actually I’m a little scared of what your answer might be. I have two sons. One with the NYPD the other with the FDNY. They have a better than average chance of contracting the virus, unfortunately that chance is escalated by selfish attitudes of some of the respondents to this subject.

Reminds me of my kids when they were young. You take away their playtime and they rant and rave. Guess some just don’t grow up.
