I'm happy to share how, when, why and what my rationalization was...
What: My rationalization was from the prism as a Christian Patriot Truther, warfighter and family man...
- as a Christian Patriot Truther prism - completely understood what the DS was up to was wrong, a deception lie and the onset of the irregular/information warfare that we have seen play out..
- as a Warfighter - I put on the hat to completely understand the enemy and the tactical battle space as well as understanding their strengths (fear as a narrative) and their weaknesses (implementation)... More importantly, as a Special Forces Trained Operator - I understood how to blend in at the boots on the ground engagement level...
Why: wasn't going to allow them to dictate or interfere with what I was allowed or not allowed to do with my family ...
- as a family man - I was not going to miss the opportunity to watch my daughter perform in college theater her senior year (she already lost her Junior Year limited to virtual performances); nor was I going to miss the opportunity to visit my 87-88 yr old mom who had already been isolated enough as it were... and I wasn't going to let them interfere with me being able to take my daughter to the Kennedy Center for some fantastic once in a life time father-daughter time watching some of her epic favorite performances...
When: I traveled twice to visit my mom and family - we still celebrated our annual family reunions (albeit, we did it safely the 1st year); I went to watch my daughter perform twice (at GMU and local Theater club); and I took my daughter to the Kennedy Center (2-3 times) as Birthday and Christmas gifts. The Theater venues were the easiest to rationalize how easy it would be - as these folks are typically volunteers or older folks who just enjoy the Theater atmosphere... Air travel turned out to be a lot easier than they 'said' all the 'fear-tactics' and agreements we applied during the purchase of the tickets; urns out everyone at the ticket and gate counters were too busy performing their normal priority duties and I honestly never got asked to show my vaccine card to anyone...
How: When the showcased the format for the Vax Cards were just old school card stock - they were just asking for folks to replicate...
once I figured out the format and dimensions I just bought some card stock and experimented with getting the right size...
Turns out that Wife1.0 (Ex) required our 3 kids to get the Vax...
So, I just asked my youngest son to show me his card to ensure the dimensions and cardstock were accurate..
I simply hand wrote the exact same entries on my card that were on my son's card... That way if they were ever traced - I could make a defensible argument that there must have been human are at the point of entry - since we had the same last name and were in the same geographical area...
Also, I took a photo of the card and used my Phone to show may card at the Theaters... Turns out the Kennedy Center only wanted to make sure that the name on the card/phone photo matched your name on your Driver's license...
