They don't look for a trophy or applause.

Originally posted by Ken View PostHow is it different? Both of them are things that any sane, reasonable human being would do (wear a mask to avoid killing those around you, and not swerve into oncoming traffic... to avoid killing those around you).
I do have the benefit of actually knowing these people. I would agree with you if you stated that they are the outlier to the rabid politicized anti maskers. But you didn't. You lumped them all in with your enemy.
I do not agree with you. I hope that doesn't make me your enemy. I do not consider you mine.

1.03- I had to type, delete, type, delete, type and reread remembering that this crowd can a will tag you for casual comments. Keeps me sharp.

And I agree, you don't do it out of kindness or thoughtfulness. That's the entire point.

Nothing about them wearing a mask "for the maskers" is noble. My example above absolutely applies. It's the absolute minimum we expect of people (and many still fail that test sadly).
