America has a respect problem. Well, specifically Texas has a respect problem. People respect others too much. You see, there is too much respect going around right now, and I won’t contribute to it.

This week Governor Abbott announced that he’s going to be rescinding the mask mandate he has had in place since last summer. Texas ranks last in distribution of the current COVID-19 vaccines. Yes, the vaccine infections have been falling lately, but they’ve fallen before only to rise again when we’ve reduced our vigilence. And, since the announcement, social media has been flooded by people saying they’re going to respect others who both choose to wear and choose to not wear a mask when phsyical distancing is not possible. And they’ve been calling on others to choose to respect people for their choice of whether to wear a mask or not as well.

Hi, my name is Greg. I’m just getting started back to writing a blog, working with the Hugo site generator. So yeah, that’s what I’m doing!
