I know a guy who broke his arm while tearing down a Kerry sign in '04. He was running back to the car and tripped in a ditch. Tearing down signs is so lame, I even told him so.
The only McCaskill and "yes on 2" signs in our neighborhood are in front of the gay guy's house. Nobody else seems to want to hop on board. I'm in no big rush to see them taken down, either.
As a rule of thumb; if I have to shove it into 4WD to run over a sign, I don't bother.
Agreed. I live in Massachusetts, and every day for the past three years, I have to drive past this house that has on the front lawn a "Support the Troops; Bring them Home Now" sign, replete with the socialist dove with twig in beak thing. The losers have a flagpole on their house that has, variously, a peace sign, the UN flag, and now has (for some unknown reason) the state insignia of Massachusetts on a white background.
As much as I have to resist the urge to drive over the sign, or kick it over, I would not do it, because I believe in Freedom of Speech. No matter how misguided or stupid, it is their right.
Besides, I know that defacing the sign would make me a liberal.
