Masks and freedom
Even during the pandemic, we hear that refusing to wear a mask in public places is a rightful expression of personal freedom. Does personal freedom include the freedom to knowingly or unknowingly spread a terrible virus via the air we breathe?
Individual freedom then trumps the freedom of others to breathe safely.

Associated Press File
In this March 19, 2021, file photo, migrants are seen in custody at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing area under the Anzalduas International Bridge, in Mission, Texas. U.S. authorities say they picked up nearly 19,000 children traveling alone across the Mexican border in March. It s the largest monthly number ever recorded and a major test for President Joe Biden as he reverses many of his predecessor s hardline immigration tactics.
Paying a smuggler, Edgar Mejia could afford to take only one child with him to the United States. He chose his 3-year-old “warrior” son, leaving his 7- and 12-year-olds with their mother in Honduras.
