[BITList] From a guy in Texas

[franka]

    *From a guy in Texas:
    *

    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 am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship
    (notice I did not say friendship), any suggestions
    Would be welcome.

    Absolutely love it!!
