Dear Kaitlin,

Alright, I’ll say it. I’ve had it with these anti-vaxxers. I really have. I think they’re horrible. They make me want to spit nails. They are killing people. I give you full permission to hate them, I certainly do. I mean how could anyone be so stupid? Chloe was going on about ‘don’t be so hateful’ —  she brought up something that Marjorie Taylor Greene (can you believe it?) said about the government being Nazism. Well, hating anti-vaxxers is about hating killers. Period. The Jews didn’t kill anybody, so they didn’t deserve to be gassed. But when it comes to anti-vaxxers — Jesus! They are threatening the lives of our children. No —  they are killing children! Innocent children are dying because of these freaks! So it’s okay to hate them. There are some people who deserve to be hated, because they are evil, and anti-paxxers are evil. That said, I am so glad we’re finally going to get our vaccine passports in Ontario. I love it, I really do. Oh yes, when Ford finally came around Chloe made another genius comment. She started talking about her brother George, — you know the one who’s very dyslexic? “George will not be able to manage a vaccine passport, he will be exiled from society!" Dear me. (I’m not sure that’s such a terribly bad thing!) First of all I pointed out to Chloe that George has always been ‘exiled from society.’ He’s never been able to function like a normal person. Chloe said: ‘this just makes it worse.’ I don’t see how. The point is this: any who can’t figure out how to put a vaccine passport on their phone deserves to stay home. And if they don’t have a phone, well spare me -- I mean, in this day and age? So some restaurants have been doing this whole passport thing — that is they are requiring proof of vaccination in order to eat there. I just adore it. Really, it’s like a breath of fresh air. Let’s face it, people who are doubly vaccinated are my kind of people. I mean they are actually people, unlike anti-vaxxers, who are no better than animals. It’s so nice to go to a restaurant and be surrounded by the kind of people I feel comfortable with. You know, well-dressed, highly-functioning, highly-articulate thoughtful people. But you know, I must say the thing that really makes me happy about eating among the ‘well vaccinated’ is that I don’t want to be around anyone who is stupid or hateful or dysfunctional enough not to get the vaccine. These days when I go to a restaurant I know that the people sitting around me are like minded. I am among friends. I’m sure I’ll make a lot more friends when I go out dining — I won’t be afraid to talk to people because everyone there will be of — well a certain level of intelligence and discernment — don’t you think? Anyway I can’t tell you how happy I am with the direction in which society is turning. I mean we’ve all known for a while, haven’t we, that there is another class of people, who surround us, and who lately, have been trying to sneak themselves into the ‘club’--  that is the club of polite society where the real people like you and me hang out? Have you felt it? I have. I mean there are people who still use the n-word — yes believe me they do exist! And then there are the people who don’t understand transgender people. I am deeply sympathetic with transgender people. The fact that Chloe’s son used to be her daughter, we all accept that. But all Chloe does is complain about it. Really sometimes I don’t know if we should stay friends with her. She has been double-vaccinated and is super scrupulous about masks, but she has actually said that if a booster comes she won’t take it! (She says she’s tired of being vaccinated, can you imagine?). I say if she doesn’t get the booster we just cut her. I mean why should we put our lives in danger? Anyway Chloe can only complain about Sylvan, when she should be happy that he has found his true self. She’s all worried that Sylvan’s  going to regret not having breasts and having a period. As for breasts — well all women know that when it comes to breasts it’s men who are fond of them, not us, and when it comes to menstruation I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Anyway I don’t want to be around people who are not kind and gentle and loving — and that’s who you and I are. We open our hearts to people of colour, I mean I won’t go to a party any more that’s all white people. When Harper was having a party two weeks ago I just asked her straight up, will there be any people of colour there? She treated my like I was crazy. As you know, I didn’t go. Should I have gone? I mean I’m glad I didn’t go, but you did — and I certainly don’t blame you for that, I would never blame you for anything. I just wondered, was it the usual Harper debacle or was it any fun at all? Apparently her young nephew was there — the doctor? Is he as handsome as people say -- as good-looking as in his Facebook photos? I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t be. Anyway, I am assiduous, not only about vaccines, and masks, and distancing, but about acceptance of all people no matter who they are or what their sexuality is. I just love people! And I’m privileged to live in a world that has become so enlightened, kind and accepting. Oh one more thing about Chloe. She’s sleeping with somebody again. I think it’s that itinerate musical character? Hank? She thinks he’s some sort of genius, I don’t know, but is that an excuse for being promiscuous? Chloe pretends to be so innocent but really honestly I think she’s slept with more men then I have. I mean I certainly had my share of fun after the divorce, but when it comes down to it, if you count them, well there isn’t much to count. Not that I’m judging. I’m thinking about Chloe’s welfare that’s all. That’s all I do -- think about other people’s welfare. I sometimes think I’m kind of a saint, or trying too hard to be one. Except when it comes to anti-vaxxers, then I have to admit I lose my cool. I think they should all be shot.
