Truck on I-70 in MO heading west


I've just got to say that as a father of three young children how much I appreciate this gentleman for providing me and all parents with the opportunity to introduce the issue of abortion to their young children in such a thoughtful and sensitive way. Displays of deep and inspiring love of this nature are always the most persuasive kind of argument, I've always said.

I've heard about those trucks (and billboards too) but I haven't seen them.

why is the site telling me that my url contains illegal characters? is it illegal to be curious now?

i don't know what any of that means. i can only assume that curiosity is indeed now illegal. i'm sorry for the boths of us.

oooh, i just know this is somehow related to W. and his whole curiosity-squashin' administration! i've been hearing clicks on my phone, too. note to self...stay off those malcontent sites.

anyway, what i was going to say before i was declared illegal (that's really thrilling to me; i'm generally considered so rule-obligated.) is that this truck certainly wins the clio for most accident inducing graphics. yikes! it reminds me of the more-comical-but-still-not-easy-to-incorporate-into-family-life burma shave-style lineup of billboards i occasionally pass with my kids that say "cafe risque", "we dare to bare", "topless" and other such enticements every mile or so. the kids probably wonder why i point out cows and ordinary vehicles every mile or so.

what i wouldn't do to hear clicks on my phone. alas, but i do not.

and as for the other billboards, well, you're exactly right. i've been amazed at how little my kids have noticed--or at least how little they've asked me to explain. and the same goes for bumper stickers, some of which are simply hateful or misogynistic. i'm libertarian when it comes to choices that adults alone can make in privacy, but it's a different ball of wax when it's public and visible to all.
