Citizenship Carries Both Rights and Responsibilities

Exactly!


 "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 signals? Yes.

Why? Because the government makes laws for public safety and because decent people in civilized societies show respect and care for fellow human beings even if it is not the law.

"You can't make me" is the response of 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.
