Political Garbage
For those of you who don't know, it's voting day in Tulsa. As anyone who is breathing will know, elections mean campaigns. Campaigns mean billboards, commercials, literature, and signage.Lots and lots and lots of signage.
This morning on my way to work I had to run an errand which required me to go through 4 intersections. Every single corner of those 4 intersections was littered with yard signage. Lafortune, Mautino, and countless other campaigns have taken it upon themselves to place 45 political signs at one intersection, spaced at 1 foot intervals for some type of effect.
What type of message are they sending? Lafortune has been the Tulsa mayor for a long time, does he think that people don't know who he is, so he needs to put ugly signs all over the grass? Does he (or any of the others) really care about the appearance of the town if they are willing to put garbage everywhere? History tells us that tomorrow, regardless of the winner, those signs will still be out there. Littering up Tulsa. Taking away from Green Country, and making it into Sign Country.
Fantastic.
