I... didn't want to do it, but in the end I had no choice.
I had some magnetic car signs made to advertise my new photo scanning service. I had two large ones made for the side panels and one smaller one for the rear panel (I have an old Ford Explorer). My computer repair sign is still on the left rear panel, leaving a smaller space on the right. The only problem is- that's where my Democratic Underground bumper sticker is.

If I took the sticker off it would be so much shredded paper. If I put the new sign on it would be covered up. It was one hell of a dilemma.

I did it- I covered my precious DU sticker with my new sign.

Can the Underground forgive me? Do you understand? I know I can get a new sticker, but it'll take time. Do I HAVE that time?

I need to know. I need YOU to UNDERSTAND.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

1. But if it's magnetic, you can always uncover it, right?
Like if you pass a bunch of freepers in a parking lot and you want to uncloak?

4. Awwwww, I knew YOU'D understand.
I just didn't wanna bring a bunch of bad karma down upon myself- after all there are 113,815 members here who could put a serious zap on me if they all banded together.

I don't DARE take such things lightly! :P

8. I'm watching Star Trek.
Since Kucinich and Edwards both threw in the towel, the political heart has gone out of me.

9. Supporting your family comes first, and trumps politics. Tell you what, the next time I contribute,
I'll mail you my bumper sticker, since I absolutely NEVER put ANY bumper stickers on my car. (My son put the last DU sticker I got on his skateboard; I'd have offered to send that one to you otherwise.)

11. I've actually gotten new clients because of my bumper stickers.
They see my political stand and they say "That's who I want working on my computer!"

No, I am NOT making that up. They've said those exact words to me.

12. I don't doubt it. Lots of people know that we liberals tend to be smarter
(and more creative) than your average rightwinger.

14. Not a problem.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Democratic Underground, and to the Democracy for which it stands. One message board, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Hail Skinner!

Signed,
