Everyone, 100% compliance, at the AAPI protest were wearing a mask.

This County is a dichotomy between the worldly, college educated, science oriented centered around SLO city, and the provincial, skeptical and resentful centered east of Paso. CCN needs to bridge this gap not widen it.

There you go again Mazin, with your labels putting everything and everyone in neat little boxes, in a typical liberal, elitist manner. Hate to break to you but there are many slightly different shades of grey.


Stop playing identify politics, people who disagree with your point of view may sometimes be correct.
