Burning Masks in Idaho

 Today I saw a clip of people in Idaho, including kids, standing around a metal drum with a fire inside, throwing their Covid masks into the flames.  Those kids, of course, are there because of the adults who were with them.  The governor of Idaho, to his credit, said people should continue to wear their masks, but for some reason many Americans are acting in a completely irresponsible way.

Eleanor Roosevelt once explained:  “Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being.  With freedom comes responsibility.  For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.”

Grow up, America.
