The prop 2 commercial makes me want to be vegetarian again.

My landlady and my friends next door received their absentee ballots today. I did not! Should I be worried?

I came home yesterday to find a Yes on 8 sign posted in the lawn of a vacant house. By lawn, I mean the portion of grass that is between the street and the sidewalk - not the direct front yard.

Trees that grow in this area are pruned by the city. My sprinklers water the grass of this area on front of our home.

Is it ethical to remove the sign? Say, when I left for work in the morning about 5am. I'm guessing not.

Sure. If the house is vacant then it's littering. It's not unethical to remove trash.

Who's going to object?

Ooh, hmm. It's a good idea though. I wonder how many empty foreclosures there are in my neighborhood that need "No on 8" signs? :evil:

that reminds me... I came home from work the other day to find Bill had plastered the front windows of our house with "No on 8" signs. I told him, "Honey, this is Belmont Heights... You're preaching to the choir."

Yeah, but with the polls showing it disturbingly close, it doesn't hurt to remind the choir that there's a reason to cast a ballot.

While I cannot readily find the documentation, I am pretty sure that it is illegal to remove election signs, etc. - even if you don't agree with it. I am sure there are exceptions (such as possibly if someone put it on your private property without your permission), but I believe that you removing the sign is not legal.

And I personally believe it is unethical. I know I wouldn't want somebody removing a No on 8 sign.

I only said sure because it's on the property of a vacant house. So some random person put it up. Unless the house is a rental and the owner put it up.

Gemini Cricket 10-09-2008 11:21 AM

I say put up a No on 8 sign next to it.
