For Your Own (And Everyone Else's) Good

You know and have probably repeated George Santayana's "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," and so here's a New York Times reminder that the mask controversy is a lot like how America dealt with the onset of seatbelt laws. People turned that, too, into a political dispute and acted like it was a major infringement on our civil liberties. Here we are in 2020, and everyone wears seatbelts and nobody complains anymore. It's a non-issue. So how did we end up arguing about masks? Okay, we know why (and who), but still. (And, yes, it's not precisely the same -- law versus mandates, protecting yourself versus protecting others -- but you get the idea.) (New York Times)
