To Begin

There's no underestimating the intelligence of the American public.  - H.L. Menken

I used to regularly bike by one of those cars that is covered with bumper stickers. This was nothing unusual. In Portland, Oregon, failing to display one's progressive credentials is considered odd. This particular car displayed more than one Obama political sticker.  It also displayed on that read "Don't steal.  The government doesn't like competition."  I've seen that sticker before.  I've always regarded it as a clever expression of a libertarian viewpoint.  In this case, I'm wondering if this person really means it.
