Had the day off so I decided to make a trip to the local nursery to pick up some tomato and pepper plants for the veggie garden. Beautiful day....sunny and cool, light breeze...not a cloud in the sky. I'm outside checking out all the plants and the nursery is fairly busy for a Thursday morning. What do I notice.....every friggin person had a mask on. Denying themselves of the fresh Spring air...sauntering around like automatons. Everyone but me. Later, as I was checking out, the guy at the register looks up and mutters "I see someone hasn't drank the Kool-Aid". Of course, he had a mask on....mandatory for workers. Pathetic.

We've become a society of comfort, leisure and complacency. As long as most can relax on the couch at night with a cold one and some nachos while absorbing the game or NCIS, they're content. They keep their heads down and remain compliant in order to avoid rocking the boat and not draw any attention as a troublemaker. Until an event kicks our collective asses off the top of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, things will get collectively worse. Sadly, it's a very small minority of cretins who are calling the shots and could be wiped from the slate if everyone stood up. It looks like we're going the way of the Roman Empire.
