Personally, I have no problem with a mask............just as long as it's my decision to wear one, and not someone else telling me I must.

If I go into your store, I ALSO retain my rights. That's something you missed that is relevant. Let's make it more blatant so you can see it. "All patrons of this establishment will be sexually assaulted." Do you think If I go in I've somehow given up my right to be secure in my person?

Do you know what the word "unalienable" means?
