Senator Rick Scott (R. FLA): “I encourage everyone to wear a mask and practice social distancing. But I oppose a government mask-wearing mandate, because people should be free to take responsibility for themselves and their loved ones.” Thanks, Rick Scott.Next steps in Rick Scott’s vision of freedom: 1) I encourage everyone to come to a full stop at a stop sign. But I oppose a government imposed stopping-at-stop-signs mandate. People should be free to take responsibility for themselves and their loved ones. 2) I encourage everyone to refrain from smoking cigarettes in crowded movie theaters. But I oppose a government no-smoking-in-the-movies mandate. People should be free to take responsibility for themselves and their loved ones. 3) I encourage everyone to drive the interstate highways at a reasonable speed, surely not over 100 mph. But I oppose a government speed limit mandate. People should be free to take responsibility for themselves and their loved ones. Oh, freedom!!!
