Do you fail to follow your doctor's advice because he/she is trying to "control you"? Wake up.

Not governors place . Should be personal decision. Besides, do the math, less than 2/10 of 1 percent cases in Oregon . The government response is pure insanity and overstepping their authority.

I have a right to choose the risk I want to take! More people died in traffic accidents in Oregon last week. Are we going to eliminate driving because there is a greater risk than COVID? Nonsense!

I agree. And it should be same as if a vaccine is available. Those that want it can have it and those that don't want it, don't have to have it. HELLO???? That constitutes our rights.

It's strongly advised to wear a mask, but I don't think it should be illegal not to. You can always just walk away from people who aren't wearing masks if it makes you feel uncomfortable. If they persist, you can always call the police for them harassing you, not for them not wearing a mask.

You don't have the right to go around without a mask and risk my health, which is the purpose of the mask. It's not going to help you, it's helping the people around you.

You are wrong. It's her duty to protect the state from the virus. How hard is it to wear a mask to protect others in our community? Do you part.

Because it is a joke it is my right to wear or not wear. And some of us it causes more harm than it would ever help. And no one should dictate what we should do where our own health is concerned.

If I wear a mask then I'm protecting you if I have Covid-19 and don't know it, yet. If you wear your mask, then you help to protect me. It's that simple. Thinking of others instead of just me.

Not wearing one sometimes actually inhibits the rights of others. When unmasked folks enter our business, some masked customers (particularly seniors) become anxious and feel they have to leave. :-(

Unless you have a health reason not to wear one, it’s got a purpose. If it was you or your grandmother who might die from this, shouldn’t you inconvenience yourself for a time?

The mask is a symbol of caring for our friends, neighbors, family and even those who refuse to make this small effort for our communal good.

Only a self-rightous, self-absorbed idiot would think an order to wear a mask against a deadly disease is a "violation of rights." Never heard anything more ridiculous!

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
