Gun manufacturers should also pay for mass shootings such as the Sutherland Springs massacre, says a reader.Re: “How progressives in government forfeit the public’s trust,” by George Will, Other Views, Friday:
If your idea of freedom is to do whatever you want, whenever you want, you need to find an uninhabited island and live there by yourself. If you want the advantages of living in human society, you have to be ready to follow society’s rules designed to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the other people around you.
George Will, who usually makes at least some sense, has managed to top all the nonsense we’ve been hearing about vaccination and mask mandates. He wrote that “today’s public health imperium” risks “stifling, enervating or devitalizing human society.” It’s a little piece of cloth or paper that goes over your nose and mouth. It’s an ordinary shot, like the ones you got in childhood against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox. Your arm may hurt a little, but it will save thousands of lives and help get the economy back on track.
In his column, Bret Stephens asked, “Who turned the news business into an extended act of navel gazing?” when writing about CNN’s Jeff Zucker. That same day, the Wall Street Journal quoted a CNN worker as saying “They were professional partners for more than two decades. Is the relationship any more compromising because they kissed?”One can say such relationships should not be news, but had this involved those disliked by CNN it’s a sure bet it would have been plastered all over its newscasts.
