As I approached the truck to

take this photograph, the

owner came out and gave 

me a suspicious glare.



"Do you mind me photographing

your flag sticker?" I asked.



"I guess not." he said.  So I

took one and said to him:



"An apt statement. I would

have to say that over the 

past four years my love for 

America HAS become fear."



"The ones that should be 

afraid are them damn Arabs."

He pronounced it 'ayy-rabs.'



"No," I responded. "We have 

plenty to fear too.  It was 

Jefferson who said 'I tremble 

for my country when I reflect 

that God is just.'"



With that I thanked him and

left before he could realize

how badly he wanted to kick

my ass.
