Why is this even posted on
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
I post negative info about apple and question their business plan on /.'s apple subsection.
I just can't help myself.
I had bumper stickers made up in two elections which said:
Gore Clinton
I ran into two groups of people: the ignorant who said, "Gore isn't running for President." and those who asked, "What part of his body should Clinton be gored in?"
Even better: When Dukakis was running and he passed through, I had a sign which said, "Dukakis has aides!" You'd be surprised how many people read right passed the letter "e" (which made it interesting as that's what I wanted to have happen). Several types of people approached me: Those who said it was disgusting to defile him, even if it was true, those who told me I couldn't prove it, supporters who told me they'd have me sued for untrue statements, etc.
That's when the obvious statements came through: "it's not known exactly how everything happened", "most on his staff already knew it", "if someone made a guess about Congress, the numbers would be higher than they would guess at", etc. You'd be surprised how many suckers work in the news media.

Swipe a "wet paint" sign. Scan it in, change the "wet" to "dry", then print a few copies and post them along a walkway (indoors). Most people know something is wrong but they cannot figure out why unless someone else tells them. And they almost always touch the paint as if to verify that it is truly dry.
