We're seeing what the opt-out nonsense gets us
with the idiots who won't vaccinate their kids.

I saw some of those loonies interviewed on PBS. Except
they were wealthy residents of some super-exclusive island
off Seattle, Democrats.

Choose to be a member of this society or find another.
Being a member comes with obligations.

"Obligations" meaning you want to enforce your morals
on others. IOW, exactly what you accuse conservatives
of doing, except you really mean it.

To me, "liberal" means generous, inclined toward the
common good; free of bigotry; tolerant of the ideas
and behavior of others.

What you describe is dictating, imposing your values,
my-way-or-the-highway.

That's not liberal. It's becoming that which you
fear in others.

I know you mean well. But maybe you've conjured up
an evil conservative / jack-booted "neo-con"
boogeyman ... and he isn't real? Or worse, maybe
he's real, and he's you.

Best wishes,
James Arthur (a liberal)
