So Don't Tread On Me Too!

Dear Dingo:

I live in a state that is still enforcing mask mandates, and all the local stores are as well. Yet, every day there is one anti-masker is in the store as well. They are always the same--pretending to act tough, yet so obviously uncomfortable--as humans don't really like to stand out that much!

I am tempted to confront them and explain the simple fact that we all live by rules that we don't necessarily agree with. Why can't they just understand that?

Answer:

Because Don't Tread On Me only applies to rules they don't like!

For example, if you want to walk into a store barefoot with a pot belly pig on a leash, I am pretty sure these die hard anti-maskers would be the first to point out that you are in fact breaking the rules. 

Basically, by their logic --You put up your little Gadsden flag up and it all becomes a free for all! So here's your chance--even if you live in a conservative neighborhood--your wildest hippie dreams are now possible: Get day drunk with your pet peacock in the front yard, while blowing dandelion seeds towards the neighbors yard. Teach your non-binary kids all kinds of witchcraft, and make sure to mow the lawn topless (especially if female).  Don't Tread on Me....!
