K “A devoted masker in late January of 2020 no longer shares the same devotion in early June of 2021. Much about the mRNA vaccines is troubling, very troubling. Now that the government mask mandates are relaxed, public places are relaxing their requirements and letting individuals who self-identify as vaccinated to enter without sporting a mask. However, my research suggests that many if not most individuals who have not had a vaccine are strolling insouciantly if not defiantly into public places without a mask.”
J “I believe in masks. I believe in mandatory mask requirements. I believe in mandatory mRNA vaccines.”

K “Last time I ventured a guess, I concluded that I watch about 30 hours of traditional television a year. Some of the viewing is logged under ‘social science research’ rather than ‘entertainment’ or ‘educational’ activities. You will not be surprised to be reminded that I still have no television cable service.”
J “About 50 hours, give or take about 50 hours. Or a little more or less. Some of our watching is hybrid television. The only boob tube in the house is ensconced in the corner in the basement near other things in storage.”

K “Now the amount of time I am enslaved by the fondle slab is another story. A daily nightmare really. Too much viewing. Je suis addicted.”
J “You may cut the cord, but we all are tethered by the signal. If I could do it, I would do away with the Internet entirely including all the positive avenues and opportunities it has created. Eliminate. The. Internet. Period.”

K “You have been through this drill over the past year. If this signal is now coming through to you or to some of you, we can proceed with the second virtual graduation ceremony in school history. Learn to eschew fear. I realize. Easy to say; hard to do.”
. . .
K “Ladies and gentlemen of the class of ’21 . . . learn to eschew fear. . . . If I could offer you only one tip for the future, learn to eschew fear. You have been studying and partying and extracurricularing at a frantic and frenetic pace. Now is the time to learn to eschew fear. Fear debilitates and demoralizes and immobilizes and immolates. Look at who is trying intentionally to frighten you. We are in the halcyon days of the Virus and the Vaccines and their consequences. The future will not be as calm. But learn to eschew fear.”

K “And wear sun screen and hearing protection and chainsaw safety chaps. Eat dessert. First. Learn to tie a bowline (and a bow tie). Stop, pause, think. And learn to eschew fear.”

J “Go East, young person. Go to Rome, D.C. and get in on the looting before it is too late.”

K “Let us also proclaim it National Irony Days. I cannot remember a time when there were more restrictions and road blocks by public and private entities on free speech. The technology makes it so easy to throw a switch and disconnect a citizen.”
J “Exercising your right of free speech if exercised to challenge those in power jeopardizes your personal freedom and threatens your life. These actions are not just having a ‘chilling effect’ on free speech, they are ‘deep freezing’ free speech.”
. . .
K “The threat to one’s life and the possibility of being suicided is very real and a clear and present danger.”
J “And unreal. Anyone raising a serious and fundamental challenge to the system knows that he or she risks his or her life, liberty, property and pursuit of happiness.”
