Has it occurred to any of you YAYsayers — who are so hellbent on cheering for this asinine edict — that by issuing this statement, now heard far and wide, the sheriff has granted tacit permission to all anti-maskers in the area to be even more brazen in their transparent rebellion?

(Wow, Boomer, that sure was a long sentence you just wrote there. Fired up this morning?)

Therefore, I am asking Villagers in support of the now high profile, local sheriff, to think through what you are saying. Ask yourselves if workers come to TV from Ocala. (If you are actually in TV at this time and running with the pack of YAYsayers — this could be about your own risk.)

And, NO, I am not paranoid.

The country has been drafted into battle against an invisible enemy.

But, as warriors, we have been issued only limited weaponry.

But, hey, we do not have to equip ourselves at all with even this limited weaponry if we don’t feeeeel like it. In fact, the loudest in our ranks shout some kind of pseudo-patriotism and are encouraged to do so. What kind of battle plan is that?

Ironically, the encouragement of going into battle completely unarmed often comes from those who are in a position to insulate themselves from the war — you know — kind of like draft dodgers — remember those?

You all know the drill: Wear a mask when in public. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. It’s all we’ve got.
