Here it is in full.
And just in case that’s tricky to read …
Responsibility price of rights
‘You can’t make me, they say.
Do you smoke inside buildings? No. Do you wear a seat belt? Yes. Do you stop at red lights and stop signs? Yes.
Why? Because the government makes laws for public safety and because decent people in civilised societies show respect and care for fellow human beings even if it is not the law.
‘You can’t make me’ is the response a young child having a tantrum makes to their parents who are trying to teach them to be responsible, good, caring people.
Citizenship carries both rights and responsibilities.
Wear a mask.
And here are a few of the things people said in response.

And the reason there are rules and laws is because humans suck at self-regulation as do Corporations. And the reason penalties are typically monetary is because these “you can’t make me” types still don’t get it until it costs.
