Saw a bumper sticker on a vehicle when I was almost to my office at the University. This was the sort of commentary you would only see in the proximity of a typical college: pretentious and condescending, with not-very-well-disguised anti-American-proletarian sensibility.
 
The message: “I love my country, but I think we should start seeing other people.”
