TACO THERAPY: This past Saturday, I was on State Street performing my civic duty. I was trying to jump-start the local economy. To be precise, I was on the 500 block of State Street, getting some designer tacos from an entrepreneurial young couple crazy enough to launch a new business in the teeth of the COVID storm. The tacos — I would find out later — were delicious. They took a while to prepare, and as I waited outside, a parade of about 100 COVID denialists marched their way up State Street. Many waved American flags. Some wore Santa hats. Others honked into honking devices.
All but one wore no mask.
If 99 people marched up State Street wearing no pants, one can only wonder how the local gendarmes would have responded. What if it were 100 happy hooligans popping yule tide wheelies on their bikes? What if they, too, wore no pants?
