>From a guy in Florida :

My neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts

>(Obama bumper stickers, gung-ho

socialized medicine, "guns should be

>banned", etc.). So this past spring

I put this sign up in my yard after one

>of his anti-gun rants at a neighborhood cocktail party. The sign wasn't up

>more

than an hour before he called the police

>and wanted them to make me take down

the sign. Fortunately, the officer

>politely informed him that it was not their job to take

such action without a court order and

>that he had to file a complaint "downtown" first, which

would be reviewed by the city attorney

>to see if it violated any city, county, or state

ordinances, which if there was a violation

>a court order would be sent to the offending

party (me) to "remove the sign in seven

>days".

After several weeks he was informed that

>the sign was legal (by a quarter of an inch) and there

was nothing the city could do, which

>obviously made him madder. I tried to smooth things over

by inviting him to go shooting with me

>and my friends at the hunt club but that seemed to make him even more

angry. I then asked him if he wanted

>to go to a Tea Party rally but again he declined my outreach efforts to bring about

a better understanding between political

>and social opponents.

I am at a loss how to reconcile our long

>relationship (notice I did not say friendship), any suggestions would be welcome.

Maybe I'll ask him if he want to go deer

>hunting, which opens up

November 1st, you know, just a bunch

>of guys running through

the woods chasing Bambi, then sitting

>around the campfire roasting

marshmallows, drinking beer, and singing

>our favorite country

songs to the accompaniment of Jake's

>harmonica (he is a better

lawyer than a harmonica player but don't

>tell him I told you).

I even made him a bumper sticker and

>that made him madder than

he already was!

Anyway, that's life in our neck of the

>woods, how's about yours?
