ordering more fish

[sergebroom]

When Sue came to pick me up at the airport on Saturday, she told me that someone had ripped away the Darwin Fish glued to the back of our minivan. Oh well. I guess I'll need to get a new one. For some reason, the miscreant didn't walk away with our magnetized-and-thus-easily-removable bumperstickers, one of which refers to George Walker Bush as a village idiot, or the one for Zod in 2008. Go figure.

Let's hope it was an act of envy instead of an act of protest.

I'd rather have someone steal my Darwin Fish because they agreed. Which is probably silly, but that's the way I think.

I'd like to think you're right, that the miscreant had to have his/her own, but I doubt it. Oh well. Silly people.

Political messages seem to inspire less vandalism than religious ones. It's that whole "I'm answering to a Higher Law" thing.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Either that or they didn't get the bumpersticker that says "A village in Texas is missing its idiot."

Yeah. Like the person who decided a higher law decreed that the s/h had to change the noticeboard in my department from indicating who was in which office to a religious message because that was far more important than students knowing which professor was in which office.

Before I became an American citizen, I had to answer some questions, one of which was "What is the supreme law of the land?" I expect that such people wouldn't know the answer to that question, and if they do know the answer and ignore it because they don't like it, then I find myself thinking of them as quite unAmerican.

Too many people really do think it's the Bible rather than the Constitution.

Remember the old bumpersticker that said "The Moral Majority is neither"? Personally I don't think that there are as many of them as it seems. But they are loud, and they do puff their feathers, all to make themselves look bigger.

That's very true.

A friend who recently became a citizen of this fine country (meaning this fine country I live in, not the equally fine country you live in) told us that while he didn't really mind having to take a Being A Good Australian exam before they'd let him vote, he did sometimes feel that the country would be in better shape if everybody else had to as well.

...otherwise they tend to forget what the country of their birth is supposed to be about, unlike those who chose to come to the Land.

I thought it was George Walker Bush.

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Corrected.

I don't know where I had gotten that idea about the meaning of 'W'. How emabrassing. And what a relief that it doesn't stand for the General.

Oh, absolutely.
