Wisdom from Thoreau: Beware of All Enterprises Requiring New Clothes, Including Masks

My friend Bill Martin tells me he’s wearing a T-shirt emblazoned, “Our forefathers would be done shooting by now.” Heck, our foremothers would be, too. What a cowardly, supine age curses us!

Speaking of sartorial dissent, another reader suggests that we “[apply] a yellow star to these stupid masks” as “a subtle rebuke to state and to the fearful slaves everywhere (I see them driving ALONE in cars wearing masks).” He realizes such a move would infuriate “P.C. people…, but only because they don’t understand why and how the NAZIs could do what they did…”

Ah, but the latter becomes clearer every hour, doesn’t it?
