[Peace-discuss] disappearing signs

[Jim Buell]

Ricky and a couple of other folks mentioned last Sunday that their No Iraq 
War signs had disappeared from their yards. Add me to that list: swiped 
less than a day after I put it up in front of my house in a quiet Urbana 
cul-de-sac. (I had heard what sounded like a pickup truck stopping, then 
going again, out front just before it happened, so I don't think it was an 
immediate neighbor.) At any rate, I'm in need of buying a couple more. (One 
comes down, two go up :).) Are they available now at the IMC and/or the 
food co-op?

Also, I'll be writing the following on the bottom of the new ones (I 
mention this in case anyone wants to copy the idea) - expanding on a 
suggestion made by Jay, as I recall: "PLEASE DON'T STEAL THIS SIGN. It is 
private property and Constitutionally protected speech, and it is a tiny 
part of local, national and global efforts to save millions of lives and 
preserve essential humanitarian ideals. If you have concerns or questions, 
let's talk." And including first name and phone number. Sheesh, are we 
utopians, or what? :-)
