"The Cheerleader Rule"
You're right, Patrick and I stand corrected. That sticker," Piping Plovers Taste Like Chicken" may be as effective as "You Enviros Suck". It just causes them to redouble their efforts against, what must be in their opinion, a crude and savage people.
Another that that has crossed my mind (briefly) is that we are actually working toward the same end albeit via different routes. And the kicker is this: they don't work for us. Why not? Lack, on our part of constructive effort. Just nasty slogans. Sure we have the right to speak our minds and use black humor, but what does it get us? What does it say about us to those on the other route? It pretty much says that we'd like to eat their little birds or pop them like bubble wrap.
Again, we want the same thing, the preservation of open beaches. It can and will be done with or without us. If it's to be done with us, we're just gonna have to lose some of the" in your face attitude".
What's funny to me (and it is) is just plain offensive to others, so I keep it to myself.
You younger guys can't imagine what we've lost for beach. You also can't imagine how many more people want to drive it. But that's another whole issue. But part of the reason for closings.
