In Your Opinion: Don’t Use Offensive Sign To Divide

By Rob Trautmann.

Growing up, I remember learning from an early age then when someone is seeking attention, they’ll take it in any form, positive or negative.  The infamous political sign on Demott Lane is a perfect example.  An attention-starved person is lashing out and, from the looks of the opinion pieces in the Franklin Reporter, he’s getting exactly what he wants.

To be clear, everyone has a Constitutional right to be an @$$hole. But to quote Dr. Ian Malcom from Jurassic Park, this man is so “preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” If the owner of the sign really wanted to push political reform, they would not seek to offend and ostracize, but rather befriend and communicate.
