Not fair! We're not available Saturday. There should be a drawing with a
'need not be present to win' clause. What about the shut-ins who'd like a
sign? Why should some signs be reserved for Seward businesses and not
residents? Some residents have great & visible yard sign locations. What if
some people are on the 'compact' and can't buy anything new? And are the signs
printed by a union shop with soy ink and made of bio-degradable materials?
While we're in this general area of discussion, this 'Unconvention' has
opened up a huge can of worms! Shouldn't we all be accomodating and just
accept whatever the SNG or the city or the county or the state or the RNC or
the feds, for that matter, want us to accept? Life would be so much simpler
with a benevolent dictator. We should just stick with that old paradigm of 'Let
George Do It!' After all, he is 'the Decider'. Then again, he might choose
rubber bullets and tazers rather than yard signs to keep the peace in the name
of national security. These issues are never simple.
