Beware of Paco, He's a Thief.

That was what a sign read in the front yard of a house in the neighborhood we just moved into. Seems to me that there may or may not be better (and more productive) outlets to voice one's opinion. But I guess whatever makes you feel better, right?

That sign was posted for over a month.

Today, I was approaching the house as I do everyday on my morning commute to work and there is a neon sign lit up in the window reminiscent of the Bud Light beer neons you see at bars or the "Open" sign buzzing above a shanty convenience store door jam. I approach even closer and as I pause at the stop sign I notice that the neon sign is a beach scene with the word 'Peace' glowing in the middle.

It could be a reformation, or maybe it's just the holiday season, but it seems to me that these people are caught in the middle of instigating and mitigating war. How can you post such a provocative sign one day, and then release a white dove the next?

It's almost as if they're begging recompense.

I wish people would just stop acting so passive aggressively and rude and start acting more productively and friendly. The world would really be a better place if everyone bit their tongue a couple more times and acted rationally all the time.
