    I get so sick of seeing all the Prius' driving around with the "Choose Civility" bumper stickers on them, so I just ordered a few of these to piss them off:

    The other week, I saw a woman, yacking on the cellphone, blow right through a red light, nearly getting broadsided.

    The stupid @#$*! had one of those "Choose Civility" bumperstickers.

    I had always wondered what these bumperstickers meant, but now I realize they're intended to warn other motorists that there's a congenital idiot behind the wheel.

    Those little bumper stickers mean there is a snooty, lib behind the wheel. Everyone else is a barbarian. Boy how Howard County has changed in just 15 years.

    NO doubt in my mind that Prius drivers are more likely to cut you off, change lans without signalling, roll through stop signs, do 10mph under the posted limit, weave while on the cell phone, and generally just drive like the road belongs to them.

    But hey, they did their part to save the environment...

    Anyone know who came up with the original slogan, and why?

    There is a book "choosing civility". I happened to recieve it at work and it is a darn boring work about how to avoid conflicts. I took mine to the range, put two rounds through and displayed it to prove my point.

    The book was taken up by HoCo Library and made into a slogan to promote HoCo as a "model". Right now, the bumper stickers seem more to serve as a warning from abysmal drivers.

    Funny... decades before this idea of "civility" became "fashionable", and it became in vogue to tout this seemingly novel idea via catchy green bumperstickers, I seem to remember learning all about the Golden Rule and how to treat others as you would have them treat you, in this place we called "Sunday School".

    Well, congratulations to the slow learners for finally catching on to the idea.

    civility...that's a fancy way of belittling other people's cultures while maintaining a finger-pointing spinelessness common amongst white-guilt liberals. i can't stand those friggin stickers and the minivans that display them while tailgating or cutting me off. more than a few have been covered over with msi or mdshooters stickers...i don't know by whom though:innocent0

    I hate those goddamn things. They may as well say "I think I'm better than you". I hate self-righteous idiots.
