In 1945 we defeated violent fascist leaders who controlled the press & public perceptions of truth. If you were 20 then, you are now 97 — or dead.

Don’t be embarrassed to wear a mask. I mean, some idiots wear shirts with big yellow As on them and disgrace their families by yelling foolish, juvenile obscenities in public.
