The bumper stickers are a way of releasing my anger without taking it out on other people

October 17, 2016

“When George Bush decided to invade Iraq, it made me so angry that I started putting bumper stickers on my truck. I guess that is when it started. It is a way of releasing my anger without taking it out on other people. I get them from a place in Minnesota and it feels good putting them on. Not long after I started, I started getting flat tires. I got six flat tires in a year. Nobody gets flat tires, but I got six of them. I can’t blame anyone, maybe that is how they express their anger. I also started getting notes under my windshield wiper. They were positive and negative. One questioned my patriotism, but I am a veteran myself. Some people put stickers on my truck without asking. There was a Sarah Palin sticker, but I found that one pretty quickly. I have to keep a look out for that. ‘Lord help me be the person my dog thinks I am’ is my favorite. The other is the Hitler quote, ‘Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.’  The truck is a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. It only has 110,000 miles on it and still runs good. I drive 10 miles to the golf course and 10 miles back home.  I play golf in the morning, take a nap and maybe hit a few balls again in the afternoon. That is all I do. It is a hell of a life.”
