Bumper Stickers

Hey I need to talk to you. Come here, step into my office.

So I'm driving back to my house today and I see something that I haven't seen since I was in the second grade. It was a bumper sticker campaigning for Clinton/Gore '96. I was stunned. Why does that person still have that bumper sticker on their car. Do they not know that that election was 13 years ago now, and that this country has had three presidential elections since then? Have they been in a coma for 13 years and no one drove their car during that time? Or maybe it is like that terrible Brendan Frazier movie, Blast from the Past, where he grows up living in a nuclear fall out shelter for 30 years. Regardless it was just strange to see.

Anyways, that story gets me to my thought of the day. What is the deal with bumper stickers? I have never had one on my car, nor do I ever intend on getting one. I just don't see the point. Now I don't scoff at people that have them or anything, I just don't see what the big deal is with them. I really love the political stickers like, "W The President" or "OBummer." Or the always popular hippie stickers like, "End the slaughter, boycott Canadian seafood." Do people really think that I am going be convinced to vote a certain way or not do something because I saw it on a bumper sticker? I just don't get it. Also, I just don't think that people care that your horn is broken and that I should watch for your finger.

Finally, I have taken stickers off of other things and there is always leftover sticker that has torn off. Does that not stay on the car? It just seems like a big hassle when you decide you have to take off the sticker.

So that's my random post about my dislike for bumper stickers. O and by the way, my shetland pony is smarter than your honor student.
