Excellent work Miss D. I'll have to use that tactic next time I go to a certain grocery store.

Vandalism is *NOT* the way to convince people
of any position(no matter how cute or fun it
may seem at the time). Remember this when
your bumper stickers have been replaced
with "I'm a MMM supporter", or some other BS, or scraped off all together(happened to me).

LOL Buzz you have to get through her security officers first. Please submit an aplication for her hand in marriage to me and Ottergal. If aproved you will be contacted within 60 days. If you are denided then your remains, what little are left, will be buried in my moms flowerbed.
"Thank you for your interest in our friend. Please go with the two very large men in Dark sunglasses and Black suits. They will help you begin the aplication"
*ok who has the shovel*

Ya put a smile on my day, Sandy.
Hope your sister has a bumpersticker of her own.
Got to get a few myself. Keep 'em in my glove compartment, next to my extra copies of the Constitution.
BTW I have a hard time thinking of replacing lies with truth as vandalism. Besides, "Sauce for the goose ..." Lefties really hate a taste of their own medicine.

Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do.
Not as subversive as this (luv it) but I had to create an example of time series (stats) for a very prominent place and used one from Lott.
Also, I gave extra examples of Kleck and Lott books to the local library.

Just a note: I in no way vandalized anything a bumper sticker
was already on the door. I simply just covered the old one
with a 'fresher' one.
That's not a bad idea to start puting our bumper stickers
over the gun guncontrol ones. Only OVER an exisiting sticker
though, we need to play clean.

Then by that standard we should meet at the local library with magic markers and fix all the lies? Maybe spraypaint over the Rosie O'Donnall adverts on the sides of buses with "Rosie Lies! Guns Rule!". Make us look as foolish as those on the other side? Great plan stomp the first amendment to save the second. I am sure every bookburner thought they are just getting rid of the lies as well.
Who wants to be "sauced" with foolishness? It only serves to marginalize your point.

LongArms, If the employees have already trashed the place with their own bumper stickers why not have at it!

A little story for this one. My car was hit while parked and the rear bumper was bent and the chrome scrapped off. When the person returned(they lived down the street a few houses and myself and a friend saw it happen), I went out and pointed out they had hit me on the way by. The response "Well thats an old car and it had few dents already."(in the front fender not rear bumper) and they walked away. So do you think that was OK too?
Did you throw rocks at the windows of abandoned or vacant houses when you were a kid, 'cuz some had already broken by other kids?

Ok one more story and I will sum up. When I was a foolish young teen(as most are) the "I (Heart symbol) my (picture of different breeds of dog)" bumpersticker had become popular, I found a sticker of a large woodscrew that would just fit over the heart on this type of bumpersticker, thus changing the meaning. I thought this was very funny at the time(still do in theory) and mentioned to my father my intention to get some and place them. He became upset and I did not understand why, after all it was funny, he said to me that would be wrong as the bumperstickers are not mine and do not belong to me, those people paid good money for them and don't deserve to have their property damaged or defaced like that.
From Merriam-Webster's online dictionary:
Main Entry: van·dal·ism
Pronunciation: 'van-d&l-"i-z&m
Function: noun
Date: 1798
: willful or malicious destruction or defacement of public or private property
Look bottom line is that person paid good money for that bumpersticker it was not yours, you should not fool with it as it is not your property.
I had gone to the corner store after reading Miss D's last note and ran into my local LEO we have talked in passing before so I asked his opinion. He replied while he wouldn't like to be called out for it, it was still defacement of someone else's property and was not the thing to do. Yes it was a fun thought but you should have thought better and not done it. Just because one was already in place does not in any way mean you may change it, to do so is vandalism plain and simple. If it made you mad go out and buy more pro-gun bumperstickers and talk your friends into placing them on their cars, doors, dog...wherever.
I know it feels good to get forty some "Atta Girl's" and "WooHoo's" but it still was an irresponsible thing to do. It in no way advanced the fight over the fence-sitters toward our side and may have made some of fence-sitters in the office, if any, think that person might be right about "gun-nuts", after all if you can't trust them(pro-gun) with other's private property maybe you can't trust them to have guns either. Why nobody else pointed this out to you here is really beyond me, I thought most people here would know better, you must be really popular here.
It was a petty thing to do.
Try to be better than that(or them).
It's about RESPONSABILITY...st****..er...you.
(Novel mode is now canceled. Thank you for reading)

It is vandalism, pure and simple.
But I'm not one to preach from a position of righteousness either. In college, I took an NRA sticker and placed it across the chest of a anti-gun statute. It was positioned as if the statute (with outspread arms) was wearing a medallion. After a week, the janitors did scrape it off, but you could see where the patina was affected.

Miss D.--the way I see it, the anti-gun sticker was fair game. A medical staff has no business pushing a political agenda during office hours. "Marla" (or whoever put the anti-gun sticker on the door) asked for what she got. Maybe it'll be a lesson to her--not a gun lesson, since antis have closed minds where guns are concerned, but rather a sticker lesson.
Besides, the sticker referred to us as "dummies." I don't like that, either, and I, too, think it called for a response.
IOW, we'll done.

TR would first like to extend congrats to Miss D for the wonderful bit of covert action.
I was of course reminded where I was when I saw the "it was vandalism...." posts.
Make sure you hand them in first...
TR
I am reminded of a qoute I once heard:
"...Don't fight fair. The only thing it gets you is beaten. Leave chivalry hanging in the closet with your dress whites."

Miss D, give sis a 'Fight Crime, Shoot Back' or 'All those in favor of gun control raise your right hand' sticker to add in your absence. I would also contact the doctor let them know you do not appreciate them forcing their political beliefs on patients, then find another doctor.
