Killed by a Sound Bite
Is it wrong to hate someone because of their bumper sticker?
I spend a lot of my time driving to and from places. I see a lot of bumper stickers. Of times I see some that piss me off. I'm not against people having opposing views. Really, I'm not. I'm against people who feel they can adequately sum up their views in a 5 word sticker and put it on their car.
I'm also going with the assumption that if you put your half thought out view on your car for the world to see, you feel very strongly about it. And by making it public, you make those views open to scrutiny. The only scrutiny I can provide via the highway system is to run people like that off the road.
The big offenders I see are the Bush lovers. (Not lesbians, the others) The big W sticker on a car usually means the driver, in my mind, is a proud stupid supporter of a big dumb animal. If I see a sticker like that... no merging will be had. You can put on your signal all you want... you're not coming over. Want me to let you out if you're stuck on a side street or parked and trying to move... nope. You can sit there for a month.
Last night I refused to let a Dallas Cowboy fan over on a busy street. It seems silly to do that, but Dallas fans, as a rule are mental midgets. I was at Costco and the register lady and a bag/box boy were arguing about football. This is how it went after I got involved:
Me: What football team do you like?
Her: Dallas.
Me: Why?
Her: I don't know.
Me: Are you from Texas?
Her: No.
Me: Have you ever been to Texas?
Her: No.
Me: Do you even know anyone from Texas?
Her: I don't think so.
Me: Can you name two players on the team?
Her: No.
Me: Why do you like them?
Her: They're America's team.
Me: No they aren't.
I remember a few years ago, Dallas started calling themselves America's team. That's a lie. They're probably Retarded America' team. Also... baseball is the national pastime. If there's an America's Team... it's probably a baseball team. Football is really a johnny come lately. Keep in mind, I love football and think baseball is kinda silly.
So bumper sticker people... you guys are risking wrath when you drive around with your little slogans. I already start my day with the mindset that 99.9% of the people on this planet are in my way. If one of those people also happens to have a moronic slogan on their car (like "Abortion stops a beating heart"... yeah... so will a pencil if you stab someone with it.) gets between my and my destination... I'm likely to do whatever I can to run them off the road.
I believe we can change this society... killing off one little brain at a time.
I'm going to Las Vegas in a couple of days and will be gone for a week or so. I'll try to write while I'm there, but no promises.

I have two: "Brakes Are For Pussies" and my favourite...a green awareness ribbon that says: "Support Road Head" given to me by MJ!
