Yes, pigglet, I feel the same way. I'm not a big fan of bumper stickers, either. I did have a Kerry/Edwards sticker on my previous car but that was only because I was working the campaign in a little petro-refinery wasteland of a town in Louisiana and it seemed that everywhere I turned there were bumper stickers with Bush/Cheney and mobile farms of yellow ribbons and pictures of fetuses and little decals of Calvin praying in front of a cross. I had an overwhelming need to express myself.
My new car has no bumper stickers.
