"No one knows there is a war going on"

It's amazing how powerful the combining of simple technology with common sense can be.

In business, we used to call it "guerrilla marketing." Using low cost, high impact methods to get the message out.

In the land of freeways, what could be a more cost effective method?

The Highway Blogger makes a good point.

Hundreds of people all over the country could be doing this.

At which point, we transform our nation from a place of silent consent to one of endless activism.

John Adams used to call it "setting bonfire in the mind."

We need to get back to that.

clipper's remarks: A Zogby International poll conducted last week reflected the country's distaste for political debate. When asked if they preferred the Republican emphasis on national security or the more Democratic commitment to domestic issues, 73 percent of respondents agreed to disagree on the matter and just leave it at that; 16 percent called the topic of Obama versus Clinton "touchy" and not worth talking about if it could offend someone; and 11 percent said that for the sake of everyone having a good, hassle-free year, it is probably best to just let it go and not worry about who the 44th president will be.

In addition, nine out of 10 Americans polled stressed that with the dollar's poor performance and record-high gas prices, this is neither the time nor the place to be talking about politics in the first place.

WASHINGTON—After months of fevered and contentious political discourse, the U.S. populace unanimously agreed Monday that, before somebody gets upset and things get out of hand, it would be better to just stop talking about politics altogether.

Designed to reverse the trend of heated discussions on topics ranging from the Democrats' shifting stance on NAFTA to Sen. John McCain's support for the Iraq War, the nationwide change in subject is effective immediately.

"There's no point getting the country all riled up talking about politics, especially right before a big election like this," 43-year-old Pittsburgh resident Eric Daniels said. "With terrorism and the economy and all these other problems on our minds, nobody wants to talk about which candidate can best restore faith in America both at home and abroad."

"Baseball season just started," Daniels added. "How about them Pirates?"

Anything, Americans strongly reiterated, so long as it is not politics.
