Editor,

As usual, Matt Grocott is wrong, again, in his column titled “Liberty and Freedom” in the Nov. 9 issue of the Daily Journal (This is becoming monotonous!).

Not even wearing a seat belt is a choice, even though it hardly affect anybody else, except perhaps good for the windshield business.

Mr. Oberg – perhaps you can opine on the millions of people who have and will continue to die as a result of vehicle accidents, drunk drivers, legal and illegal drug overdoses or any of those combinations. After all, they’re endangering the lives of other people. Doesn’t the public’s well-being outweigh their individual rights? What about all those convicted felons released back into the American wild? Shouldn’t the public’s well-being outweigh their individual rights? What about all those Dems ignoring their own mask mandates, endangering the lives of other people? Shouldn’t the public’s well-being outweigh their individual rights? Looking forward to your response. Thanks, Mr. Oberg!

Our laws clearly state that a citizen has a right to self defense.

"Defending" yourself against vaccination, and thereby putting others at risk? Yeah, typical Trumpian logic!
