Jerk Pissed Me Off!

BACKGROUND: MorAn in truck flipped me off for two bumperstickers (supporting Michigan's current Governor and Senator), and then got an earful because HE HAD HIS PHONE NUMBER ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. As I promised when I called, I went to Yahoo! and wrote a review of the incident.

Title: September 06, 2006 "Owner" Flipped Me Off for Bumperstickers!

On Wednesday, September 6, 2006 on M-53 in Romeo, Michigan, the driver of the black truck (who was reported to me as "the owner" when I called), slowed down to display his middle digit to me presumably because of the two (non-offensive) bumperstickers on my vehicle supporting two political candidates. I promptly called the phone number shown on the vehicle under the assumption that an unprofessional employee was misrepresenting the company, and the owner should be told. To my shock, I was informed, "THAT WAS THE OWNER."

The "owner's" intent was obvious -- to personally intimidate and harass me for expressing my political opinion. This cowardly display of rude behavior has earned my scorn and contempt for both the individual and his business. I was not proffered an apology, although I did offer a lecture on public decorum and civic responsibility.

In a country with diverse political opinions, I believe it is important all citizens demonstrate respect for each other. That courtesy was not given me by "the owner" of this company. I do not recommend anyone who loves their country give this disgusting, treasonous, cowardly WORM their business. Its not much of a man who tries to intimidate a pregnant woman into being afraid of physical retaliation for her political stances, and although I was *not* intimidated, the fact this man TRIED TO DO THAT leaves me suggesting he might be more comfortable in a country where Tyranny such as he tried to practice is considered socially acceptable.

In the meantime, if he can't handle this being "the land of the free, and the home of the brave," then he should get the hell OUT of my country!!!

ON EDIT: The link to the review is giving me fits! I'm sorry about that! Here is the contact information for the company (based on both Yahoo! and the information on the truck).
