Sampling of bumper stickers from my little corner of Atlanta:
"Eve was framed."
"Don't pray in my schools and I won't think in your church."
"Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?"
"My kid reads your honor student's email."
"[Picture of Bush] American Errorist"
"Just say no to sex with pro-lifers."
"I'll consent to being post-feminist when I live in a post-patriarchal society."
"Love the one you're with."
"Agnes Scott College"
Hahaha. (Ok, ok, that last one is usually used in conjuction with some of the others.) How many times have I wished for a digital camera while on the road? Incidentally, these people must have really good jobs. They're always driving really nice cars.
Oh well. I guess I'm opinionated enough to fit right in, but somehow I still feel a little different. I think I wouldn't be so disgruntled if these bumper stickers were being used alongside stickers that say, "Every second another child dies from hunger-related illness," or "Care is never futile," or "Remember the poor," or "Buy used cars and spend your extra money on the third world instead of buying new cars on credit and using your extra money for stupid political bumper stickers that don't mean anything." Heck, I could even go for a little "Free Tibet." Is that too much to ask?

I would have to put it next to a bumper sticker that reads "Oh and my dad this for me so don't call me a hyprocite on this issue. So don't get all high and mighty because God is rad and He's my Dad and He can smite whatever other god you worship. Are you saved now?"

How about "If displaying a bumper sticker is the height of your political expression, you deserve the failure you've earned."

That's the one that induced a serious case of road rage in me recently! As if thinking and praying are diametrically opposed. Errr!

Ha, that one was my favorite.
My neighbor has one that says "Voldemort votes republican" I laughed at that one until I realized it was negative towards the party that I tend to favor...libertarian :)
Posted by: KAC at September 22, 2005 09:46 PMOh! I have another to add:
"ORTHODOXY: Declaring the Truth Since A.D. 33"
They park in my complex. I wonder what they think of all the Decatur bumper stickers.
And yeah, as much as I hate to say it, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named probably does vote Republican.

Posted by: KAC at September 26, 2005 11:42 PMIn the GPS parking lot: "Meter Maids Eat their young". and
"My quarter horse beat up your fourth-level dressage horse." --No joke!!
my VERY favorite:
"Where am I going? ...and why are we in this handbasket?"
Posted by: Rachel at September 27, 2005 10:16 AMHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Brilliant. Whatever were you doing at GPS? (Other than logging bumper stickers for me, that is.)
