Well' I have several bumper stickers on the back of my truck. Like someone in a previous post said, if you don't like them, don't read them. Mine relate to the Civil War reenacting that we do. No one has yet commented negatively to them, but I have received quite a few comments about how the reader agrees with my sentiments, that being that our history and our heritage should be remembered.
I guess to best answer Murray as to why do we place our thoughts on public display would be, 'Because we can' One of our most cherished right in this land of freedom is our freedom of speech. I for one will make use of that for as long as I draw a breath. Once we start suppressing that ideal, where will it lead us? I personally draw the line at stickers that are obscene, but do not support attempts by legislative groups to ban them.
Was it Voltaire who said 'I may not agree with your opinion, but will fight to the death your right to it?'?
