Drivers shouldn’t make assumptions

Letter writer Steve Jahn must shut his eyes 75 percent of the time he is driving (“No need for political junk on our cars,” Tuesday). I see all kinds of bumper stickers about all kinds of things I agree with and don’t agree with. Ain’t freedom of speech cool? He must be a bit sensitive when it comes to his own opinions and that is why he notices particular bumper stickers, like “Republicans suck.”

The other point to make here is that this doesn’t necessarily mean that the driver is a Democrat nor does it automatically mean the person is a “peace lover.” It just means his party and his beliefs are being challenged somehow.

To me, having a Bush/Cheney sticker on your car means you are automatically a supporter of war. That doesn’t mean it’s true, it is just how I feel. I don’t want to seem mean, but move on. Beep, beep.
