| Show Playing Bumper Sticker Politics Simon Says Say By J Thomas ts' ts Editorial Writer There are a lot lo of things about humanity that make me stand up and loudly wonder WHY A recent occurrence at Redwood campus is one of those things While I was taking the Math final last quarter someone found it necessary to remove a bumper sticker from my car It was there when I parked and went inside but when I came back ou out it was gone Since Im I'm unaware of other instances of sticker theft on campus Im I'm led to believe that it was not a random act Rather it was done deliberately The sticker in question was a Libertarian offering from the 92 elections stating simply Hemp not Bush I thought it was funny sue me This leads me to the reasoning behind the theft The way I 1 f see i it there are only omy two logical reasons someone would steal a a sticker off of a strangers stranger's car Either the thief was so offended by it that she he decided to play censor forthe for forthe forthe the so sensitive driving public or they were so envious they had to take it for their own If the first case is true I offer the following WHERE DO YOU GET OFF If for some reason you are still upset because Mr Bush LOST the last election it has been four years GET OVER IT However I dont don't think that's the reason or you also would have taken the Gore Clinton sticker No I think you took the sticker out of fear Fear that someone else might think it was funny and after the last election your sense of humor couldn't take it Or maybe you were afraid amid somebody might see it at a stoplight somewhere and discover that there are literally hundreds of beneficial uses for hemp If you are that insecure in your beliefs perhaps you should re-examine re them before attempting to alter anyone Whatever misguided reason you had your attempt at neo-fascist neo thought control served only omy to make me proud that my sticker irritated you to the point that you had to stoop to such immature lengths to prove your idiocy If on the other hand you took the sticker out of a weird sort of infatuation infatuation infatuation tion why dont don't you try asking next time or were you absent during the manners portion of your social development A short note with your name and number left under my windshield wiper would have been sufficient I would have called told you where you could get one of your own and the whole ugly mess could have been avoided I dont don't imagine I will ever know brow what happened to my sticker but I do know that this kind of behavior has no place coming from adults on a supposedly open-minded open college campus College is a place for expanding your mind it is not a forum for adolescence Do us all a favor next time by thinking about that before tampering with someone else's property |
