3. Nah, just an average joe
who had a boy in the car. Also had a bumper sticker for Shriner childrens hospital. This is the way our country thinks about peace.

15. I disagree. They will be angry but also fearful.
Fear is a useful tool for Occupiers.

7. We've have superior firepower globally since the end of World War II.
How much peace has it given us?

Huh?

9. For people who believe this,
peace is merely the absence of war. And Republicans can't stand the absence of war, so they start wars... but we always say we're "defending" ourselves. It should be the Department of Offense.

13. One of the people at work...
has one that reads "God bless our troops, Especially our snipers". I really miss the north.

14. Yeah, God bless the snipers, God loves to see his creatures killed.
I live in Madison, WI which probably has more peace activists per square mile than almost any other city. And people use a lot of bumper stickers, so I've seen lots of good ones on peace. This one just caught me in the gut because, it truly reflects what this country practices.

16. If I had my druthers...
I would be back in Cleveland. Of course, I could never make there what I do here. That, and having your car rust out from under you every 5 years is a bummer.
