I HATE moralizing billboards!
The latest here in "Babtistland" says

SELF CONTROL

Knowing that you can,
but deciding that you won't

DO YOU HAVE IT?


Arrrgh! Doesn't even say who put it there. (Prolly in tiny print you can't read from the road.)

1. If you want to waste a few thousand...

the next billboard should read

"Yes. Yes I do, otherwise I would have blown up the
previous billboard".

See if anyone in JeebusLand has a sense of humor.

2. Oh, ok lets see how this works...
Knowing that you can (drive a monstrous gas guzzling SUV)
But deciding that you won't.

Knowing that you can (use lies and half-truths to invade a nation preemptively)
But deciding that you won't.

Knowing that you can (rig voting machines to favor your candidacy)
But deciding that you won't

Knowing that you can (pay off members of the press to push policy)
But deciding that you won't

Knowing that you can (use torture as an interrogation technique)
But deciding that you won't.


Hey, this is fun!
