Campaign litter all around

Thu., Aug. 12, 2010

Enjoying my summertime. The nicest time of the year, but alas, what do I get? My phone rings every hour with a recorded message asking me to vote for someone. My porch and mailbox are full of the same trash. So I get into my car to go for a pleasant drive. But what do I find? Political signs everywhere, making visual pollution.

What a waste of money and resources. Hopefully, others feel as I do and will try to promote eliminating or at least charging rent for the use of public land. The rent could help offset my taxes.
