Thanks Dave!

The BCC pushed the issue again. Apparently there was some opposition from people worried about a tyrannical guvment.

[SIZE=6][B]30-A communities implemented their own mask mandate[/B][/SIZE]

SOUTH WALTON COUNTY Fla. (WMBB) — Last week Walton County Commissioners did not move forward with a mask ordinance, but some 30-A communities do not agree.

Signs are lining 30-A asking visitors and employees to wear a mask to protect the community.

These are rules in place for Seaside’s mask mandate they have put in place.

“I am not antimask, I am anti mandate,” said a Walton County resident.

“We do not agree with a mask mandate,” said another.

After dozens of residents voiced their opinions at last week’s Walton County Commissioners meeting on the mask debate, commissioners chose not to enact a mask ordinance.

“I felt like I was risking my own health and safety to just come and speak to the county commissioners for them, to make health and safety a priority,” said Kerri Parker, Seaside’s Executive Director of Communications.

Parker also spoke to commissioners but feels like her voice was not heard.

“We are not a municipality,” said Parker. “But we have a commercial district, and we do make rules.”

Seaside has had its own mask mandate in place for visitors, and many other 30-A communities have followed suit.

“It did help others to take that step forward,” said Parker. “And say, you know what, if they can do it, we can do it too.”

Visitors are aware when they come to 30-A masks are necessary.

“So they are making us wear masks, said Raymond Sutton a visitor to the area. “It is not required but when we do go into stores, the store clerks are asking us to wear them.”

Seaside and other 30-A communities, like Rosemary Beach, expect their mask mandates to be in place for quite some time.

Parker said masks are important to help limit the spread of this virus and it is necessary for their community.

Members of the Seaside commercial district have not given up talking to Walton County Commissioners. Parker plans to speak to them again.

We get tired of people who think they are smarter than we are.   :cool:

It's amazing to me how science has been completely trampled for personal convenience and short sighted political gains. So harmful for the protection and recovery of our community.

Now our leading scientists and health professionals are being harassed and threatened all over the country. Several women have resigned to protect their families. What have we become? Anti intellectualism is just harmful to everyone in society.

Doing basic health precautions is easy and the most patriotic thing we can all do.

Deep South Mentality.  What are you talking about?  These people (Trump supporters) exist in every State and every County in the US from Oregon to Massachusetts.  I think you are a little prejudiced or politicized or just misinformed.  Trump may be a businessman but he has found the mojo in divide and conquer politics.  Trump is an opportunist and he found a weakness in the democratic party.  I am as frustrated as you but grouping people and calling them names makes it all worse.  I have at least one debate a week with someone who thinks the pandemic is nothing more than paranoia, who believes that Trump is a gift from God and believes that Trump unselfishly cares about their individual liberties.  It is harmful but I stop short of calling it shameful because we have all been snookered into believing that two political parties will not use divide and conquer tactics.  One day (hopefully soon) we will put take off the political shackles and think for ourselves.  If you want Biden to win this election then stop making it easier for Trump.  People vote primarily with their pocketbook and bible.  For the life of me I do not know why healthcare is not in there but somehow it's not.  So if you want to persuade Trump supporters (not "deep south mentality") to see the light then you must illuminate Trump's weaknesses while being respectful to their pocketbook and bible.  Antagonizing a large group of people is the opposite of how you convince people that their savior is a false prophet...

Absolutely, What's needed is for us to be forced to lock ourselves down like all you "brilliant" individuals who are far above the "deep south mentality" that you speak of. I avoid crowds and wear a mask because I choose to and I don't don't go to bars and dine out during this time because I choose not to. If you hate the people of the Deep South so much, why don't you move? I hear it's nice in Minneapolis this time of year.

Teresa, I agree with you but in a democracy where we the people are this divided and respect for each side has been replaced with anger, frustration and even hatred more and more people are going to choose individual liberties over social systems that share responsibilities for the greater good.  In addition We also are all part of the Western Philosophy that focuses on individualism instead of the whole.  I wish democracy meant that we can have it both ways but I know that it will always be like this probably because of the nature a two party political system.  Many of my discussions with very religious (and educated) people are concerned that our institutions (social and government) are being taken over by people who are trying to take away the freedoms that are most important to them and give other groups more freedom at their expense.  It is the only explanation of how good people that have always tried to do the right thing are not wearing a mask.  So when their false prophet tells them that he will protect those freedoms that matter most to them they will be very loyal.  Somehow this loyalty expresses itself in ways that conflict with the greater good.  To be fair many have  legitimate arguments and examples can be found right here in this forum.  Grouping people into offensive categories is not the answer in finding the greater good or doing the right thing.  Once you hit people with verbal and emotional abuses like this they just become more and more loyal to their causes even when those causes conflict with doing the right thing.  I am not excusing the behavior but I do understand it and respect it even though I try very hard in my discussions to convince them to listen to their heart not their politics.  I don't know if this will make any sense to you or anyone else but it is my experience in trying to reason with both sides...

There is no both sides to a pandemic or science or facts. Politicizing this pandemic has been a disaster.

Democracies around the world have very little difficulty doing what is necessary for their countries and communities to survive and thrive. They are doing the hard work even now.

And my experience is that most Americans are more than willing to do the same. These are informed citizens who are true patriots willing to do the necessary things for the good of everyone. Lately I'm seeing so many more masks out there. And I feel thankful and more safe to be able to get out more. Really grateful for so many caring people around us. Yes we live in a ME society where science and facts are not valued but this is not the case for most people even though it has become more visible during this time. Look at all of the national polls regarding the pandemic. Look around at our friends and neighbors. They want what's best and they are doing their best.

Yes I have noticed more mask being worn as well.  It is a very good sign and my hope is that we the people are united at least against this virus. The polls are proving that we the people are still able to be united in a bipartisan way.  Wearing a mask protects others more than it protects us individually but when everyone wears a mask it is a big weapon against the virus.  That said I have talked to more than a few people in this county that believe that the mask are worthless.  Why would anyone think that a mask would not reduce air particles of the virus?  It is not even common sense to believe that wearing mask are worthless!  I kinda sorta understand why people may question science but to not use their common sense is even more worrisome.  It suggest that they fear something more than this lethal virus. 

Politics is very frustrating but if we make it worse by antagonizing and grouping people it only strengthens their fear and leads to "sides". There are some in this forum who are very good at antagonizing others.  I just think if we can tone it down it and try to listen with respect that it will help more of us choose to elect better people to represent us AND make better choices like wearing a mask.  Otherwise we will never have bipartisanship in our legislative representation as those in power will always keep us divided.  So when I say that we the people can save our democracy I am talking about our American Democracy which is almost perfectly divided and everything including science becomes politicized. Heck even patriotism is politicized!  Lets just watch our Presidential Election and how the campaigns on "both" sides are politicizing the pandemic.  I agree that our President has politicized everything which is harmful to the American people but the two party political system is also responsible.  Yes I am always trying to make the point that a better democracy is when there is a left and right and a middle which allows for more compromise in solving problems.  The opposite of compromise is when power becomes authoritarian.  I know that our society is shifting and change is absolutely necessary but even Obama indicated that if we change too fast that it leads to fear and fear only serves to divide us.  There are times when an authoritarian mandate is necessary like with wearing a mask in a virus pandemic because of the science but when people do not believe in the science it means that fear is now a problem like in this Qanon movement.  We should be concerned enough to try and not antagonize people with disrespectful rhetoric otherwise this movement will grow and we are just shooting ourselves in the foot as far as encouraging people to do the right thing.
