I had my lawn sign stolen last presidential election. This time I moved it closer to my house and further from the street. It's so wrong..... everyone has their own view points. That's why we live in the USA, so we won't be harrassed like that. It is basically harrassment and defiling of property. Shame on any of you who have done this.

It's not just you, it's all of us. I'll bet most of us have seen this happen all over town. People…Read More don't seem to be in the habit of checking for pedestrians, unless perhaps they're near a school. Drivers need to understand that they must watch, yield and wait. In large cities where there may be dozens of people in an intersection, drivers, for the most part, observe the law--there's safety in numbers. So when we're alone or in a small group, and find ourselves in a crosswalk around here, we all must remain alert and be ready to "jump out of the way" of some unobservant or inconsiderate driver.
