we often see what we want to see

I think that road rage is dangerous
when driving it pisses me off more if a person does something obnoxious or ignorant and then I do not agree with the political beliefs stated on their bumper sticker

I have bumper stickers on my car
most of them bicycle or mountain bike related
political bumper stickers…
well… as it may be a place to showcase your ideals
the highway is a dangerous place to start the discussion

DC is not only international
but very diverse nationally

This is something I've always wondered about living in Massachusetts but not being a native of this state. I've noticed that the local drivers with liberal-leaning bumper stickers (lots of them here) tend also to be more aggressive drivers. Also, in February I was rear-ended on the highway by a younger driver who told me that he was reading my "interesting" bumper stickers. One of them was "Aragorn/Gandalf 08" and the other was a pro-life bumper sticker. After the body work, I now have refrained from putting bumper stickers on my car. As we approach the coming election, I may put one back on and pray for no more accidents. Very interesting!
