At the Movies

‘‘Twas so very long ago. The lights, the colors, the joy. Freedom, laughter. Popcorn but now with distancing? An arm around my shoulder. Ah~ I want all those days back. Wll I ever be free to see? All those magical creations. With fellow human beings. At the movie theater stations! Lighting up the marquees~ Swing open those doors. I wish to be whole once more! No need of a passport to leave my lovely house. No forced anything in my body! No more walking the streets Like a government mouse. Just free to go as I please, Maskless in God’s sweet atumn's blow! 9/3/2021 3

Those are out there hiding behind “science” that has terrorized the world. A true crime against humanity.

Elena! Thank you. My life is near it's end, but for those dear children, and those healthy adults, it is crime! Any moron who voted for tyrannical rule should get their just desserts. I know crushing of tbe human spirit and mob rule is their joy incarnate! Few here stand for the freedoms I grew up with...it is sad. Hoping will not bring change......Panagiota

Great saying, Tom. In CA, with a looney governor ...they open, then they close...the theatre and movie industry suffer. The patrons, too. Well, not all states are this Silly. Hope all OK by you. Pangie.

I do not go out at all...my choice. I was out once. I wore that insufferable thing. I don't have full lung capacity, so it's very hard to breathe. It's all looney. Sorry you have to wear one.. Been indoors for a year and a half... For real. GOP has to be back in office first. They understand the Bill of rights. Current One? Tyrannical. The Taliban! Pangie
