Was in Princeton the other day for kid’s basketball camp. Camp was great — very well run, high level of play, but the town was, for lack of a better term, extremely vaccinated.

Was a Free Palestine protest (which is fine IMO), but it occurred to me there would never in a million years have been an mRNA mandate protest there. They only protest what they’re allowed to protest, that to which “good” people are permitted to object.

Elite colleges are museums to critical thought and earnest inquiry. The forms are all there — beautiful buildings, large libraries, giant old trees, but the spirit is dead.

Everything will ultimately succumb to rot on a fiat standard. Including morals and culture.

Great phrase. I often use the term "heavily vaccinated". It is appropriate in many situations.

Thoroughly masked and heavily vaccinated! Marked Double Extra Safe from Weddings, Churches, Playgrounds, Hugs, and all potentially devastating, invisible, terrors.

You're right, Princeton is littered with old beautiful trees. Traveling to, and spending some time there, is when it dawned on me: this is why New Jersey is called the Garden State 🌳 💡

maybe there was

or maybe they didn’t need to
