Daleks are some nasties from the Doctor Who Franchise, that look and act like Robots, but are actually very frightened People, unwilling to leave their Motorized Shells, express an independent opinion, or discuss their problems with The Doctor. With all this attention on the WHO, I’d’ve expected more people to think of Doctor Who. BBC had better look to their laurels.
It occured to me, that the people who demand we cover our faces are beginning to sound like Daleks. According to Wikipedia, I am not the first person to make the comparison, between Daleks and Petty Tyrants, but I am troubled by the Dalek Requirement that we wear their masks.
People smile, scowl, look perplexed, or otherwise express their feelings, and this is on their faces, for others to notice, and masks are covering these up, supposedly in the name of Sanitation. We know what they’re really doing is, trying to turn the rest of us into Daleks like themselves. They just want us to hide our faces.
There are those Daleks who accuse us of being greedy, if I don’t want to wear a mask, but I’m seriously concerned for the sanitary considerations of the fireman, who’d have to resuscitate me, after the mask causes me to pass out and collapse on the floor. People don’t like to wear masks, if they feel uncomfortable, or otherwise unhealthy, it’s not a vanity. It should be a vanity, because others could use our smiles.
