Quote by Ayn Rand
"What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked."

Regarding MASKS...
1. If you desire to Force me to wear a mask against my Dissent, that is Covetousness swelled into Presumption.
2. If you support/vote for a candidate and/or law to Force me to wear a mask against my Dissent, that is Arrogance festered into Violence.
3. If you are free to choose and wear a mask but remain discontented, annoyed, perturbed, agitated even angered until I am Forced to wear a mask against my Dissent, that is Perversion.
The above analysis is logically, consistently therefore ethically, applicably so for each and every matter private, public or political else quite arbitrary thus without principle ALL other considerations and determinations.
To importantly note, the burden of proof rests on anyone who disagrees. For to respect and regard others' dissent necessitates no further analysis to understand the ethic. It is an universal expectation since time immemorial. In contrast, to disrespect and disregard others' dissent necessitates some explanation and justification for the preceding covetousness and presumption. For to disrespect and disregard others' dissent by force, regardless the intent, is only possible upon first coveting others' freedom to prefer and behave, then presuming your preference and behavior supersede others' preference and behavior. If anyone suggests proof, then one must accept the same proof and argument for justifying every tyrannic or horrific act throughout history for preceding those atrocities too were covetousness and presumption.

More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 166
Most likely to be published later this spring/summer of 2020, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the previous....
PROEM & POEM No. 166 - Constitutional Crisis / 2nd Reprise
Since the first constitutional crisis if you will, as proposed and ratified in U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 2, Clause 3, the ethical dilemma remained logically unresolved, uninterrupted from the Washington administration well into the 21st century thus the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations, with much indication presently of continuing.
Although contextualized as historically significant opposed to constitutionally critical, intentional or unintentional furtherance widened and deepened the crisis at large, additionally compounded even exasperated per gravely epochal events. Ironically, the first presidential term did not pass without horrific incident, as early as 1794 per Washington’s gross execution of military force against American citizens during the rightful Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania. Too many to list, however to selectively note a few constitutional as well ethical dilemmas following the aforementioned, some appallingly parallel to the African enslavement and Indigenous annihilation; Louisiana Purchase, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Civil War, Spanish-American/Filipino-American Wars along with the many battles and wars against native tribes thus mass confiscation of their land, all the horrific “total” and political wars of the 20th/21st centuries and more.
It is astonishing whenever arises an alleged constitutional crisis, for many such events have been ignorantly missed, conveniently overlooked even opportunistically esteemed or naively hallowed. The astonishment heightens upon worrisome questions as to how the country became so politically despotic, socially chaotic, academically quixotic and economically idiotic. Instead of consistent critique per uncompromising regard for each and every individual’s Singular Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters, worry and concern merely incite and excite afresh the persistent then insistent partisanship, most conniving, bickering and slandering, parties and factions covetously preferring their presumptuous forms of political force and legal violence over others therefore none ethically distinctive.

Again illogical, fantastical and guileful to oddly blend
Fondly portend, strongly contend, soon to violently ascend
Onward pretending, descending the subjugated to serfdom
Like mindless drones, prone to follow any fife and drum
To live by the violent blade, bullet, bomb, now the drone
Palms o’er bogarted hearts, thus the departed `low tombstones
To live by the politician’s violent pen, paper, equally the laws
Zen’ed by covetous souls, thus dire effects by desired cause
To live by another’s leave, forced to cleave, later to bereave
Assailing agitprop as prevailing backdrop so cleverly weaved
To breathe the toxicity `tween the complicity and duplicity
Inflating the whimsy as fancied infinity till end of the elasticity
Fondly portend, strongly contend, soon to violently ascend

Unless each and every intended plank is RESCISSION...
Unless each and every intended plank is RESCISSION, a party's platform advocates nothing more than expanding the immoral imposition, enlarging the inhumane confiscation, thereby benefiting the consented upon injuring the dissented, and when electorally victorious celebrating even glorifying the satiated covetousness and gloated perversion. By this logically ethical assessment, all U.S. political parties stand so charged and condemned.

Venerate this meaningless 4th with a meaningful 5th...
Regardless... carpe diem! Thus venerate this meaningless 4th with a meaningful 5th complimented with good tobacco...
Since the human specie first reasoned, smoke filled environments in forms of ceremonial pipes, community fires, smoke houses/lodges have oft been rudimentary bulwarks to various illnesses knowingly and unknowingly whether carried by insects, rodents, breath/air, etc. Perhaps more wisdom in the practice than donning on face a fashionably imposed mask clogged with material filaments, summer sweat, shed skin as well exhaled variants.
"And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of ALL his labour."
Ecclesiastes 3:13
One of my preferred Biblical references hence quoted the verse to establish groundwork for the below installments as part of my forthcoming book...
No. 109 - Solomon's Ecclesiastical Slip / Part 1
No. 110 - Solomon's Ecclesiastical Slip / Part 2
No. 111 - Solomon's Ecclesiastical Slip / Part 3
No. 112 - Solomon's Ecclesiastical Slip / Part 4
