I wonder how fast I have to drive my truck into this sign
before I kill IT?

"Keep America Free"
"Get US Out Of the UN" On a backdrop of our flag.

This asshole land owner is placing them everywhere.

About a month ago someone painted a circle with hash mark ("no" sign) on top of one billboard (these are small signs...sticks in the ground about 12' high). And Pate repainted it in the next week.

I'm sick of them...they are sprouting up everywhere...

At first I wanted to paint a swastika over the sign...you know, being historical and all. But then I saw the universal "not" sign and thought it was more appropriate.

I want to "cover" these signs, anyone have any suggestions about which paint is best to use?

I'm happy to be alive right now. So there.

2. WHAT WILL IT SAY?
Edited on Tue Sep-30-03 09:25 PM by Ripley
FUCK BUSH.

STOP BUSH.

PEACE.

Or simply, do what the previous person did and place an international "no" over it?

6. about 45-50mph mph should do
I mean, you 'll take the thing out of the ground at 5 mph, but it's just more fun to come flying down the street, veer off onto the property, and hit the thing hard enough to toss it over the truck. Knocking it over at 5 mph just won't make that statement.

7. I thought the John Birch Society was a dinosaur.
Wishful thinking, I guess.

15. I don't. I was hoping they were gone for good but
of course, they have been resurrected as FreeRepublic.com.

Really, is the JBS still active? They closed up their shop years ago here in Phoenix.

9. Or...
you could show him the respect you'd expect him to show you if YOU put up signs and leave them alone.

Put your own up.

11. I don't own the property.
Edited on Tue Sep-30-03 09:44 PM by Ripley
He owns a lot...he owns the majority of property for sale.

He drives his Hummers (2) very outlandishly in our town. What am I supposed to say? He owns a great deal of my city.

14. *shrug*
Iknow if I put a sign out in my lawn, I don't want it vandalized. I would presume you feel the same way.

This guy feels the same way, too.

Disagreeing with him isn't a good reason to trash his property.

17. Whaa?
His property is all along the freeway....

He has a right to express hatred of the UN at the entrances to subdivisions?

Maybe folks don't agree? This man is the richest asshole in the city. Why should I have to look at his peronal opinion?
