End the Epidemic
OK, it is time for everybody to come to their collective senses and end the epidemic of political sign desecration in Anne Arundel County.
Do people realize that sign stealing or desecration does nothing to help the candidate of your choice? If you support Candidate X and you steal Candidate Y's sign, all you are doing is brining attention to the fact that Candidate Y's signs are being stolen. It does nor hurt Candidate Y that you did it, and it does not help Candidate X; in fact, it could even harm the candidate of your choice.
But this is getting out of control; everywhere you go, candidates in all races are having their signs be destroyed or vanished. Even my parents, who live on a quiet street, can't have the signs for the candidates of their choice in their yard without someone riding their bikes through the yard and over the sign. It's a sad commentary on the current state of political affairs that people would resort to this childish, immature behavior. If you have to resort to this kind of thing in order to make a point, just stay out of the public discourse.
I hope that the people who have been desecrating or stealing these signs are caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It does not matter if they are a volunteer or a candidate; this sort of behavior is not appropriate, and it makes everybody of all political stripes look bad.
