Poll: Masks and Face Shields

[Ken]

In case you thought Washington State was just full of libs. We have these going up here now:

Posting a picture of Chevys and Rams...a REAL eye opener would be a Ford truck in a blue state.
And everyone knows red cars are liberal.
Nice try though.

Welcome to the Freedom Cafe!

We trust you to make your own choices if you want to wear a face mask. And, in the same spirit of individual liberty, we allow our staff to make their own choices about the safety procedures they prefer to follow as they prepare and serve your food.

We encourage employees to wash their hands after using the bathroom, but understand that some people may be allergic to certain soaps or may simply prefer not to wash their hands. It is not our place to tell them what to do.

We understand that you may be used to chicken that has been cooked to 165 degrees. We do have to respect that some of our cooks may have seen a meme or a YouTube video saying that 100 degrees is fine and we do not want to encroach on their beliefs.

Some servers may wish to touch your food as they serve it. There is no reason that a healthy person with clean hands can’t touch your food. We will take their word for it that they are healthy and clean.

Water temperature and detergent are highly personal choices, and we allow our dishwashing team to decide how they’d prefer to wash the silverware you will put in your mouth.

Some of you may get sick, but almost everyone survives food poisoning. We think you’ll agree that it’s a small price to pay for the sweet freedom of no one ever being told what to do – and especially not for the silly reason of keeping strangers healthy.

I didn't even know John Birchers were still around...

I didn't either. Last time I saw them they were protesting in front of Goshen College in the early 1980s.

I guess it makes sense, now that Social Marxism is a thing, people are seeing reds everywhere. I poked around on their website and it has quite a bit in common with MennoNet.

Yesterday the mask nazi at the local tribal convenience store confronted me to put one of her masks on. As I did so I asked her, “Is this a mind control device?” Then I answered my own question out loud, “You know, it is for me: Every time I see one it reminds me to vote to re-elect our President, Donald Trump!” Before I left the store, employees from maintenance had taken their masks off and were smiling broadly.

I have a question for the ardent mask NON-wearers among us. How do you respond, all jokes aside, to the rather common statement that wearing a mask is part of loving your neighbor as a Christian, and to not do so is (logically) unloving?

I don’t believe it’s loving to wear masks, because I don’t believe they’re effective. However, if someone very badly would like me to wear one, I will often lay my own desires down to do so, much as I might comply with someone who insisted I drink some beverage they offered me that I’d really rather not drink.

If I had a long term relationship with them, I would reason out our feelings on the matter and try to find a consensus.
