someone please get me out of texas!!!!!!

living in austin, i've always been able make-believe i don't live in texas. austin is a very liberal, open minded city. however, the moment i step outside of austin...reality comes crashing in....

for the past year or so i've had an anti-war bumper sticker on my car. it says: "Attack Iraq? NO!" yesterday i left austin to drive home to denton for the weeked. about a half hour outside of austin a white corvette pulls up alongside me, the guy in the passenger seat was holding up a napkin w/ a message scribbled on it, it said: IRAQ SUCKS

well, i just happened to have some paper and a marker in my front seat (i'm a daycare teacher, so this isn't THAT unusual that i carry this stuff around with me). I write: KILLING FOR OIL SUCKS. i catch up with them and flash 'em my sign. a few minutes later, they retaliate with: TERRORIST LOVER :( (yes, they included the frownie face). ok, now i'm starting to get a little pissed off. I come back with: PEACE LOVER ≠ TERROIST LOVER. to this they reply: REMEMBER 9/11. at this point i just give up, obviously these guys are too ignorant to separate iraq and 9/11, i'm not going to waste anymore time on them. i keep driving and about five minutes later they pull up next to me, with one last sign:

SUPPORT U.S. TROOPS OR MOVE TO FRANCE

i couldn't stop laughing.....
