I wouldn’t worry too much about it. These are the same people who cry foul when they’re treated ruthlessly. “Show them no mercy for they will show you none.” It’s understandable, but it works both ways, yanno? ---

I’ve recently seen some wonderful slogans on the back of some large trucks like, _Straight hatin’ in your face_ and _Come and get it, bitch… I drive a Ford_. Ok, someone explain this to me. I’m not a truck owner and I guess that keeps me out of this wonderful (sarcasm) club that seems to be going on with owning a large truck. Is it now the “in” thing to do to put hateful slogans on the rear window of a large vehicle? What a great way to keep unity among humans, how’s that for the “brotherhood of man”. ---
