I was in the Boston area last week (Bedford/Burlington to be accurate) on the Middlesex Turnpike where I saw a car with a bumper sticker that read:
More trees
Less Bush
Which I understood as some form of Eco-Political statement about loving the environment and not preferring the current administration (or possibly the former Bush administration). Whatever.
The funny thing was... as we slowed down for this car to make a left turn, they flicked out a lit cigarette which made the bumper sticker all the more ironic.
No matter what the bumper sticker says, this person doesn't love the environment and no matter who's in office they would hate them because they have no respect for authority (such as the littering laws).
All hail the god of do whatever I want. Membership is the cost of a bumper sticker.
If you love the environment, keep your butts to yourself and just by accident you might actually show some form of respect for the rest of us.

He sounds like the kind of person that is against poaching, but has an elephant tusk belt buckle, that hates all the garbage at our landfills, but doesn't recycle, that doesn't like the killing of all the fish in our oceans, but eats sushi on a daily basis, that is against firearm possession, but owns numerous guns for his 'protection', that cares about our ozone, but drives a car that burns two quarts of oil a mile and never gets a smog check, and that preaches 'protect our environment', but owns a lumber company and chops down ten thousand trees a day. Sadly, he sounds like the majority of people in this world. The bumper sticker is the one thing that they believe separates them from the rest of the 'morons' out there. Yes, we know 'your child is an honor student at so-and-so kindergarten'. Too bad they also have more intelligence then the one that slapped the sticker on the bumper.
