@WalshFreedom Am I tired of needing mask mandates. Sure i am. But that doesn't mean that mask mandates aren't necessary or that they don't work. Americans are the most selfish people on the planet. Having freedom doesn't mean doing what you want, when you want. To enjoy the benefits of society
@WalshFreedom cont/ you need to also bear the responsibilities of society. You follow rules/laws. You participate in your own governance. You sacrifice a little for the benefit of the many. When you are elected to office, you compromise with people of opposing parties/viewpoints. This 80s me,
@WalshFreedom me,me crap ( and I am an 80s girl) has got to stop. This antisocietal, anti-educational, anti-intellectual, anti-science bullshit has to stop. America didn't get to be a world power by being anti-anything. #vaxup #maskup, #backup #washup #growup

At the same time, the harshness of the setting — a hardscrabble, sprawling 15 square km patch, scratched, etched and stretched out of endless rolling desert.

The perimeter was equally formidable, with security fencing, official patrols, check points and razor wire.
