a good bumper sticker.


Added on edit: I just went to www.makestickers.com and ordered up five such bumper stickers.

I used that company a lot after 9/11.

Perhaps a billboard, but I don't have that kind of money. I can afford bumper stickers.

I used to have some pretty inflammatory left-wing bumper stickers on my car, back after 9/11, and I always carried extras in the car and cheerfully handed them out if people expressed an interest.

good lord you'd think I wouldn't have people attacking me over their personal property in a socialist forum.

This is rather amusing.

unless it's one you own, or have permission to paint on, would generally be construed as vandalism.

I'm gonna stick with a bumper sticker.

about my neighbors house.

It's not vandalism. It's a message. More than one.

I don't care whether the plantation owner's house burns down or not, except as he pays me. And sometimes he, or she, doesn't have enough money for even that.

slogan, or anything at all, on your house? Okay, that's you.

While I have very strong political opinions, I rarely put a bumper sticker of any kind on my car. Even though I've ordered a bumper sticker with the OP on it, I couldn't tell you at this point if I'll actually attach it. I may just give them away. That's just me.

I would not want someone painting something on my house without asking me first.

However, I'm not sure what you're getting at with
