Lives Matter

I can't take credit for the sentiment "Lives Matter."  Someone I spend a lot of time talking to, used the phrase yesterday.

But immediately, upon hearing it, I thought, now that's a movement I can get behind.

All lives matter, black, red, purple, green, male, female, infant, grandmother, everyone.

It matters how we treat each other, whatever the scenario, whatever location, whatever the power structure.  It matters.

And parlaying that into the next cause, why not wear a mask?  It's unbelievable to me when I hear someone decry mask wearing, as infringing on their civil rights.  Ludicrous.  Mask wearing is a patriotic, compassionate, live saving gesture that should make you safe and proud.  We can beat this thing.  Put your mask on.
