My next bumper sticker: "...because you wet your pants on 9/11..." |

http://atrios.blogspot.com/2006_05_28_atrios_archive.html#114886672712275777The willingness to send others off to die for a misguided war because you wet your pants after 9/11 is called "cowardice" not courage. I'm so putting it on my car.

3. Honestly, I think that's a bit much. |
|
We all suffered a massive collective heartbreak on 9-11, and making light of that in any way is not becoming. There has to be a better way of expressing what you're trying to say than this.
You'll be offending people AND failing to really make your point, IMO.

4. Well, you have a point. |
|
Perhaps I could say, "The willingness to send others off to die for a misguided war because you wet your pants when Bush told you to is called "cowardice" not courage."

This is from a guy who had the bumper stickers "Beneath Contempt" (with Bush's face, and "Bush is a Lying POS" on his car, I'm not one to pull any punches, but 9-11 is still a tender spot. Poking at it the wrong way has a way of backfiring.
Your message is a little long for a bumper sticker, but I suppose people might have time to read it when the car is parked...
Best of luck!
EDIT - I see you mention freeway blogging - that message may be more suited to that kind of venue.

6. It's still unneccesarily long |
|
"Just because you wet your pants on 9/11..." is sufficient.
