Writing at The Colorado Sun, Mike Littwin argues the anti-vaxs, anti-mask crowd has a strange and dangerous notion of “liberty.” A snippet (emphasis added):

I mean, look at Douglas County, where the commissioners voted unanimously to end their decades-long association with the Tri-County Health Department because the Tri-County board ordered masks for all students and staff in public schools. In Douglas County, it’s all about the liberty — the liberty for parents to choose to put not just their own kids at risk, but also other people’s kids. And everyone’s kids, as we know by now, seem to be far more vulnerable to the delta variant, not to mention teachers and staff.

Robin Alcarian is also fed up with the governors of what blogger Ted McLaughlin has dubbed “The Petri Dish States.” A nugget:

Republican governors are already foaming at the mouth to sue Biden for what they see as unconstitutional overreach. They were already worked up over his directive to the education secretary to use the weight of the federal government against governors who have blocked and intimidated local school officials from imposing mask mandates. (The hysteria on display by mask-hating parents at school board meetings across the country has become a social media genre all its own.)

In response to legal threats by Republican governors like Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Biden was blithe: “If those governors won’t help us beat the pandemic,” he said last week, “I will use my power as president to get them out of the way.”

The refusal of otherwise healthy people to vaccinate is, in fact, a trampling of common sense, decency and the very idea that any of us owes a measure of respect to those around us.

Get a hold of some politeness.

After placing the call, Smith’s wife Nancy explained to the 911 dispatcher that she dropped the loaded handgun as she was handing it to her husband, causing the gun to fire and strike him in the chest.

The Arizona Republic’s Laurie Roberts has a question for persons who insist that vaccine requirements somehow violate their “rights”:

Here’s another reasonable question: At what point do we acknowledge that there are certain requirements that come along with being part of a society?
