[Peace-discuss] signs for the buses?

[Jan & Durl Kruse]

At last Sunday's meeting we discussed "BUS Poetry".   The prevailing 
thought seemed to be that the opportunity to have signs and messages 
inside all the MTD buses was a good idea.  However, with the election 
nearing many members thought the best use of signs might be to take 
this opportunity to make a point about the ongoing war in 
Iraq........... a very popular idea was a sign reading:         *IT'S 
THE WAR STUPID!*
