maybe i should just get a bumper sticker of every kind and cover my car. just to be on the safe side...
one for democrats, one for repubs, one for every branch of armed forces (and one for peace corps), one for nato, one for country music, one for veganism, one for vampire-advocacy, one for the KILLING of vampires.... etc.

imagined communities are such an interesting psycho-social phenomenon
to me.  "oh, you use (or at least flashed a 'gang sign' of) Debian
Linux? now you're not just some random schmuck; instead I've
identified you as a member of my tribe and I will volunteer aid to
you."

I'm glad you got help though.  sorry about your car. :(

I wonder how many people left you to rot because you didn't have an
Eagles flag or a Marines bumper sticker on your car though...
