So I was at the gas station today, and I saw a bumper sticker that didn’t make me smile, it made me think (and not in that nice, museful, Hmmm isn’t that profound way either). I have no intention on making this into any sort of debate whatsoever, and my reaction to the sticker is in no way a reflection of my views on the subject. It read: You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. Oooook? So if you equate a war with an earthquake, doesn’t it follow that a war is (like an Earthquake) a destructive, dangerous, \*unavoidable natural \* _phenomenon_. Of course that isn’t the case, but… the sticker made no sense to me. I understand the point they were trying to make, but IMHO, they completely failed to make it. ---

So if you equate a war with an earthquake, doesn’t it follow that a war is (like an Earthquake) a destructive, dangerous, \*unavoidable natural \* _phenomenon_. Of course that isn’t the case, but… the sticker made no sense to me. I understand the point they were trying to make, but IMHO, they completely failed to make it. I think the point they were trying to make is that, in both cases, after the dust settles, you’re still left with a lot of displaced people, dead bodies, and a big mess to clean up. Though IMO the point would have been better made if it had simply said, “In a war there are no winners.” ---

There is a car around town - like a white monte carlo with very dark tinted windows…maybe from the mid 1980’s. It’s such a trashy car - and the bumper sticker says, “Don’t laugh. Your daughter may be in here.” GAH. ---

I liked this one, because I know it to be true from personal experience. “Forgive your enemies…nothing annoys them more.” ---

I was annoyed when I saw this one, but only at first. “Redefeat Bush 2004” Now. think about it. A little more… If you’s dem’s redefeat him (i.e., a repeat of 2000), Bush will have another term. And THANK YOU FOR THAT oh so clever sticker, folks! ---
