The Journaling of Hinton 389

Bumper stickers are a fantastic way to promote your business, brag on your band, provoke thought, share some humor and express religious views. You can get a lot of attention with these little powerhouses; the power of the bumper sticker has been underestimated to many people's chagrin. This simple, inexpensive method of free speech is one of the most powerful tools you have to share your ideas and opinions. They can also be dangerous, apparently. Road rage is an unpleasant phenomenon, to say the least. Getting the finger or having a horn blown at you are just the tip of the iceberg as far as bumper sticker engendered road rage goes. One Florida woman learned this to her dismay. Driving along the highway, she was startled by a blowing horn beside her. Looking over, she saw a stranger; a man and he were waving a small sign at her that said "Don't Forget that Bush's Illegal War Killed Thousands in Iraq." Suddenly, it clicked. Michelle Fernandez realized that he was reacting to her Bush/Cheney sticker on the back of her SUV. Before she could go much further with her realization, though, the man tried to run her off the road.

Swerving to a stop, she saw the man get out of his car and come running towards her own vehicle, where her 10 year old son and 3 year old daughter were. Understandably, Ms. Fernandez decided to leave and find the closest police officer. Less than an hour after she made her report, the officers had arrested the man at his home. His father described him as very anti-Bush, but a calm and reasonable person. Obviously, Ms. Fernandez has her doubts about his reasonableness. Bumper stickers, while being a great way to get attention, can also get you the wrong kind of attention, apparently. Freedom of speech is your right, but angry people don't stop to consider things like that. It's amazing how a simple political bumper sticker can engender such overwhelming road rage. In news that may even increase the amount of bumper sticker related road rage, Volkswagen has released a statement saying that they are close to completing a product that will allow you to create your own bumper sticker, complete with custom sayings. You'll be able to display custom messages and images through VW's electrophoretic display.

This device will let you change your message and pictures as you want; whether you're in a good mood, a bad mood, angry, sad or just feeling punchy. VW envisions this product as a popular add on for vehicles that will foster a sense of community by letting drivers communicate their feelings more accurately.

Road rage aside, bumper stickers remains an incredibly popular method to make your point. You get an incredible amount of notice with these little devices, whether you're advertising for your local school, lauding your child's performance in class or telling the world to take a hike.

Custom bumper stickers can be created just for your cause, event or anything else you can think of, using your logos, graphics, text and images or you can get them custom created for you. Printing bumper stickers is a very cost effective means of advertising and promotion. No matter what you want to say, these are one of the best ways to go about it. Bumper sticker inspired road rage is still rare, or rarely reported, depending on whom you talk to. The fact that bumper stickers elicit a reaction, even an angry one, is a testimony to the power they hold. Many bumper stickers are designed to anger other drivers, though most are created to make someone laugh or raise an eyebrow in questioning someone's sanity. We've all found bumper stickers that we found offensive or downright annoying and yet most of us haven't tried to run anyone off the road for expressing their freedom of speech.

Right now, the politicians in this country control a large part of our retirement financials via Social Security, they control our retirement health care via Medicare, they control our personal wealth and income via dozens and dozens of government taxes and fees, they control the education of our kids via public schooling, they control a larger portion of our pre-retirement medical care via Obama Care, they control who we eventually get to vote for (via gerrymandering of Congressional districts, controlling of campaign financing sources, using taxpayer money to fund earmarks which are just campaign finance tools, etc.), they control and criminalize what substances we put into our bodies, they belittle us for daring to have a difference of opinion, and they control who gets certain rights based on sexual orientation. They use these forms of control to drain us of our individuality in order to make us more controllable and reliant on their needs and desires. Data was generated with Essay Writers.
