#1 I saw one the other day that was new to me: nestled between an "Obama '08" and "Deval Patrick" (aka Gov. Zero) was this pathetic lament: "I miss Bill".

#2 Hah!
The one here in Kansas is, "Kansas, as bigoted as you think." (a play off of our traditionally aweful state promotion office of 'Kansas, as big as you think.').
This is seen all over east blue Kansas, Lawrence liberals in particular. Not only is it a pale 'sunflower' yellow with turd brown lettering gawd aweful ugly, but what does it mean? Me, I don't think the west part of the state is as bigoted as assumed (I'll get back to this). Dodge City has an incredibly diverse ethnic community which interacts quite well. In fact more cosmopolitan than Lawrence IMO for the simple fact it is not a white majority and has a large percentage of asians (at one point Vietnamese in particular now Chinese with some Thai) along with Mexicans. Downtown Lawrence is nearly all white shoppers - I would say a very segregated community (you have your white bars, black bars, native american hangouts - overall not much interaction. In Dodge City there are bars where everyone goes to. It may be out of necessity because of a general lack of bars to go to, but everyone more or less gets along for a place with the reputation Dodge City has).

The fact is in these smaller communities we work together on a more personal level if for any reason at all because if we do not, nothing would get done. West Kansas people like to work as a general rule so we get to know each other. Inevitably we end up playing together as well - Dodge City days and Rodeo are great examples of this. Lawrence is very segregated when it comes to public hangout places.

If I were to strike up a conversation with said sticker protester I explained that concept, as I have with my liberal friends, I am told that I am wrong and that is not what the bumper sticker means. Really I ask? Well what it means is that my interpretation is different from theirs so I am wrong. So who is the bigot?

Besides, it is a butt ugly bumper sticker, usually next to a faded Kerry/Edwards '04, on a piece of shit car so undermaintenanced it is easier to breathe the feedlots of Dodge than get stuck behind one of those sticker sporting fools.

#3 I knew some wits who discovered that you can buy blank bumper stickers, then sketch your own message. They put such handmade bumper stickers on the cars of Moonbats, and get all kinds of evil glee from them.

The all time #1 bumper sticker, the nuclear weapon of bumper stickers, is simply "NAMBLA"

(They said that a car with a NAMBLA bumper sticker may either get rear-ended or pulled over by a cop red-eyed with rage. So they reserve it only for really nasty Moonbats.)

#2, in California, is actually illegal. It says: "Homosexuality Is A Hate Crime". This is hilarious, because *saying* that homosexuality is a hate crime, in California, may actually *be* a "hate crime". This could ruin a Moonbat, even if he denies that it is his bumper sticker on his car.

Others are dependent on where you live. Everything from "Wetbacks GO HOME", "Driver Is Armed", "Allah Akbar", "Zionists Against Palestine" (with a star of David, natch), "Mission Accomplished (with American flag)", "Legalize Meth", "Hitler Was Right", etc.

#6 I actually thought the Bush/Cheney in 1984 was kind of clever if totally inaccurate.

#9 One of our neighbors bought the make your own bumper sticker and drew a great picture of high voltage lines running from a nuclear plant with the slogan

"Save the Power Lines"

#10 I agreed with everything the guy said until he started picking on Peace through Music. I believe in peace through music. Music is a civilized endeavor, like art. If people play music and find out how much fun it is they might realize they have better things to do than killing or being killed. It might help some of these frustrated, angst ridden types meet girls too which might also help them to understand they have better things to do than attempting to conquer other countries. Hope I don't sound like a draft dodger for saying so. I understand that sometimes we need to defend ourselves. I'm just saying that there are a lot of other things that are more fun.

#11 Then there is "Back off or I'll flick a booger on you."

#12 Ebbang Uluque6305: Peace through music is laudable, but if you think about it, many of those we are fighting *hate* music. They say it is inherently evil, a tool of Satan, a corrupter of youth, and a western invention. If they see a musician, they will want to kill him.

Peace, in those circumstances, can only come when such people are either powerless or dead.

#13 EU 6305 / Moose: I've always thought that if you hated music (aside from swing and jazz, perhaps the two most pretentious forms of music yet to be created), then I've always thought something was seriously wrong with you. If you can persuade them, all the better. But like Moose kinda sez, some types are beyond persuasion. Fuck them.

#14 Try this one: "9-11 Was An Inside Job." Saw that one a lot in Austin, often on expensive cars.

#16 Swing is for dancing to, jazz... which style did you have in mind? Jazz is for dancing, for singing, for playing... There are those who do it pretentiously, I suppose, but it's not inherent in the music.

The difference is they could if they were needed to, albeit without the musical instruments.
