Bumper stickers a sign of insanity?

But don't take away my guzzler

During the build up to the latest war in Iraq, there were protesters near my office every Friday. And, as I would watch some of these protesters arrive, I was shocked at how many drove SUVs, BMWs and other not-so-efficient vehicles with 'no blood for oil' bumper stickers. I could never understand how someone could say no blood for oil, but drive a gas-guzzler. Now I understand.

According to new research cited by Edmunds, those with bumper stickers on their cars are more likely to engage in road rage. So, I guess those hypocritical protesters couldn't help it, they were just crazy?

These types of people are lowest of the low...real douchebags. Same idiots who have "Support the Troops" stickers on their Suburbans.

God...why do we have to pay so many idiots' stupidity?

Bumper stickers are the worse form of punishment you can give your car.

I have three stickers on my rear window. One is the Army's 3rd I.D. emblem for my oldest sone in Iraq, one is the Marine Corps emblem for our youngest son in Iraq, and between the two of them is the Blue Star Flag (with two stars) for the both of them.
But, I do agree with the bumpersticker/mental illness thing. I lived in Washington State for 12 years, and I would see smoking, oil leaking, bald tired, cracked windsheild sporting P.O.S's with half of the lights out sporting such bumperstickers as "choose plastic, not paper" or "save the spotted owl" or "Imagine whirled peas" amongst other tree hugging sayings.
My stickers support my boys, no politics or religions.
Every notice the car with the christian radio station stickers, the fishes, and such are the ones honking and cursing the most?

My partner and I sort of have a rating system for kooks and bumper stickers.
-- 1 or 2 stickers: Probably normal
-- 3 to 5 stickers: Entering kook territory
-- 6 to 10 stickers: You are a kook
-- 11 or more, with stickers covering doors, quarterpanels, and parts of the read window: you are a super-kook (have you had your meds checked lately?)

My car? It's got just one bumper sticker, but it's a kooky bumper sticker: "I thank the goddess that I'm a witch". Ha ha ha ha!
