Thank you, Lakewood United
The mask…..
Although it cannot possibly stop a virus from passing thru, it has become the face of progressive leftist activism.
Yes, wear your masks and ponder why our libraries have become places most people don’t want to visit.
I would also suggest a blindfold.
Why not just schedule the meeting at 4:00 AM to make sure that the few who can attend at such an early hour won’t be able to make it at all?
