I just imagined the "Texas is too big and diverse" argument being used for seatbelts. Yeah, you're right.
I'm old enough, though, to remember that there WERE arguments about seatbelt laws, and accusations of those restricting freedoms, etc....they went away over time. And people buckled up. And now it's so normal we can't even remember when it wasn't. So maybe masks will be the same thing, eventually...though I hope to god we don't need them long enough for that to happen. But I presume that after this, there will be other viruses too, so...maybe.
