Letter to the Editor - Follow the golden rule - mask up

Editor,

I got my first car with seat belts when my child was 2. It took at least three stops on the 20 minutes to town to put him back in them. I realized how worth it this training was when I hit a patch of black ice and ended up in the ditch. In the seat belt I remained in some control. The training of my child was worth it.

While fishing under a bridge near Columbia Falls with him when he was 5, we saw garbage being thrown into the river every few minutes — another life lesson.

Some people without the benefit of these kind of lessons need rules and laws to do the responsible thing. It is disappointing that the state legislators are not setting a good example by establishing mask-wearing rules. If a person has a death wish, that’s their prerogative, but a mask shows that you give a fig about others. It’s just a few more months in this marathon. Consider the exhausted caregivers and mask up. It’s just following the golden rule.
