Constitution: Not blank check for irresponsible action

There seems to be a groundswell of constitutional rights activists who selfishly misunderstand the phrase “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” as a blank check to do whatever they please, just as they misunderstand the Second Amendment as a tool to intimidate others to their way.

All you activists please read all the words in the Constitution, not just the ones you like.

We, as a society, are in this together and cannot maintain order as groups of self-serving individuals. Others have a right not to be inadvertently infected due to your perceived personal right to commingle and spread virus.
