I’m surprised at the indignation aimed at the coexist stickers - are you really in favor of bigotry and terrorism? (Until I needed some repair I had an election sticker. Since my county votes 1 party 3 to 1 I thought it important to remind people some thinkers vote the other way.)

Globally or locally?

I like those - the use of different faiths’ symbols is clever, I think - but I have a friend who doesn’t because he thinks they reflect wishy-washy namby-pamby liberal do-goodism.

I don’t have any on my own car. I used to have a Python (the programming language) and a Tux (Linux mascot) on my previous one, also an “I brake for frogs” sticker. ETA: Oh, and an “I \<heart\> Obs” (Observatory, my suburb of Cape Town)

I’m not averse to non-humourous, non-political bumper stickers, just haven’t got any I want to put on this one, yet.

I find joke bumper stickers (of the “If you can read this…” and “If the van is rocking…” variety) a bit lame, and I find political ones tedious. Including the Darwin fish, although I can somewhat understand the impetus if every other car in your suburb has the Jesus fish on it.
