2. That picture must have been taken in Slower Delaware

Yesterday I passed a car that said "God Bless all Nations", couple of anti-war sticker AND the Christian Fish. Nice to see that some people get it!

3. Delaware is large enough to have a "slower" and "faster" part?

:wow:

Where is the slow Delaware?

4. Anything south of the Canal is "Slower Delaware"

Very republican down there - fortunately it's more populous above the canal

6. Don't forget Cecil County

That place is scary and I95 thru that region can be very scary ESPECIALLY if you're a person of color. I heard about the stories of cops doing racial profiling with the pullovers on 95 but when you find out it happened to a co-worker. He and his wife took BWI on their vacation to Vegas. The return flight came home late and on the way home they were pulled over in Cecil County. The cops searched their car and thru all of their packages and for what reason? Well other than they were both African-Americans, we're not sure why. Ironically no speeding ticket was issued - they didn't even have any readings on radar.

7. I hadn't heard that about Cecil County.

Not surprised though, as that could happen anywhere in the United States.

BTW, as an aside, my dad went to college in MD back in the early 50's and spent time in Elkton. Apparently he bought one of his first cars from someone in Delaware! The license plates at the time came with the car. So as a PA resident, living in MD, he had a car with DE plates!

9. I say I have noticed here in my local community, also.

The only ones the cops seem to have pulled over are non-whites. I would love to see some actual statistics.

10. How about Carroll county?

Guns are given as raffle prizes there...
BTW, my sister lives about 10 miles from the largest clan camp in MD (Thurmont)

11. Egads! I was through Thurmont in December on the way to State College, PA.

Is that in Carroll? What county is Frederick in?

The area was covered in Ron Paul Posters.
