Another way of thinking

Yesterday I had to run home to grab a department laptop for our press secretary. I was driving at my usual "get out of my way" speed and looking at the clock every few seconds as if to will it to tick slower.

I took the back way behind the hospital to cut straight into my neighborhood, when a car pulled out in front of me. I was just slightly startled and didn't even have to tap the brakes. The car had a bright orange license plate and stickers all over the back, but I couldn't tell you what any of them said, because somehow my eyes went straight to the tiny bumper sticker that I had to squint to read. I read it three times. It hit me harder each time and has had a pretty open minded person really thinking.
