A stand for principle, bumper to bumper

I wear some of my opinions on my bumper - I wonder how I'd react to this kind of situation? Of course, I drive large pickup trucks, so the additional temptation for me would've been to just back over the guy's SUV!

This kinda made me remember the parking scene from Fried Green Tomatoes: where the little car dashes into the parking place, it's young occupants taunting the heroine with "I guess we're just younger and faster!", whereupon the heroine proceeds to repeatedly smash their smaller car with her large road hog... "I guess I'm just older and have more insurance!"

A political opinion, a parking place, and putting one's children at risk in the back seat.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
