It takes guts to let the world know your opinion, especially when it's not exactly a politically correct or particularly sensitive opinion. Witness Exhibit A. This charming denizen of Federal Way was not satisfied with just one controversial viewpoint, but THREE, and all within close proximity to one another so you wouldn't miss them.
Witness also the apparent personal conflict expressed so well in three little bumper stickers, which at first glace seem to contradict each other but serve to add a sardonic touch instead. National Athiests Day paired with Trust Jesus. Can you possibly get more sarcastic? More biting? Yes! You can slap on the 'no homo' sticker and balance the whole thing on the end of the sharpest of sharp pins. Another sticker and the whole thing topples into the abyss of overkill. This fine gentleman has obviously chosen his messages with the kind of care usually devoted to plotting a ten book historical series and whether you agree with them or not, you have to admit it takes balls to drive down the road flaunting the kinds of viewpoints that sends most people's dials into the red zone. No matter who you are, something on that tailgate will offend you. It's brilliant. And in only 3 stickers.
I like that Athiest's Day is on April 1st, too.
It was while driving up toward the freeway that I saw this guy and in the rain because this is Seattle and it does that. I had to do a one handed grab at my camera and then I worried that a guy with the cajones to tell the world he resented the whole 'gay rights' movement wouldn't hesitate to blow me a new hole in my head with the shotgun he kept handy under the seat.
Well the whole short episode made me think of all the blogs that I skim half the time because they don't really say anything, ever. And don't I do the same thing? I take the coward's way out and duck telling it like it is, according to barlidoc. Or I do it halfway for fear of a raging flamewar in comments or a massive friends dump here in LJ land. Not that I'd want to read nothing but boiling vitriol, but I bet you all have opinions on everyday events you don't dare share to the world. I didn't vote for Obama, for example. I don't trust the bloke. It has nothing to do with race and more to do with my belief people were schmoozed and soothed by his oh-so-charming facade. Compared to Bush's ineptitude behind the mike, Obama is a virtual God. And it bothers me that some voters DID vote because he's black--they were the ones weeping and carrying on on Nov4. Now isn't that a form of racism? I think it is. It's no way to choose the leader of the country.
There. Now I expressed one unpopular POV. Your turn! No--not here in comments where your flist won't see. Get out there and put it in YOUR journal, chickenshit. And no cheating with the lj cut.
Off topic--holy shit is that a whiskey jug hanging offen the truck's canopy frame????? Dip me in pitch and call me Sticky!
