Stop Sign Activism

[LittleClarkie]

I went to visit my alma mater on Monday, partly to gauge how things were going post election, just to see how the place had fared since I've been there 14 years ago.

I noticed something on the stop signs as I got close to the campus that I thought was a damn fine idea. Someone had written under the word "STOP" in considerably smaller letters the word "war." Another one said "STOP Bush"

The possibilities are endless. STOP fraud, for example. STOP and think.

As long as it's large enough to be read but small enough to be left alone, you should be able to get away with it. Made me stop and read. What do you think? Eh? Eh?

1. What a great idea !

2. On a tour of downtown Honolulu a few weeks ago...

right across from the capitol building we went by a Stop sign that said "US Imperialism" underneath. Some native Hawaiians are big on the idea of seccession.

4. And well the Hawaiians should be.

The Hawaiians had their islands stolen from them by the money grubbing white man and would like them back. Another case of our government not following the existing law where money is to be make.

3. It's a great idea but be carefull out there.

we did them in the 60s Stop War sonn some astronomical fines were put into effect,don't get me wrong i love them,just cover your tracks when you make those late night runs.They call those street signs government property ( we payed for them )

5. defacing taxpayer paid items is not a good idea

Those signs are expensive, and the government takes them down not long after they get graffiti'd. Consider that people get upset at vandalism of public property, and may respond negatively to your message.

9. Roger that, PB!

And I believe that I know one of the perpetrators. Goddess help me, but I am an accessory by my very silence! Whatever will I do?

8. It's vandalism

I mean I can see that there are possibilities--but at some point some poor shlub who works for the city is going to be sent around to clean it up--your just making more work for that guy.

13. Graffiti on public property always adds a certain gravitas

to ones thoughts.

14. It's been done before

When I was a college student at OSU in Columbus, Ohio in the early '70's, pretty much every stop sign around campus sported a "war" underneath the "STOP" letters. Time to revive the tradition.
