I get that -- my saying that they can be enjoyed at face value was meant to acknowledge that. Sorry if I wasn't as clear as I could have been.
I think it's just that the older I get, the more I find that bumper sticker sloganeering -- including the sloganeering that I find funny or that's sympathetic to my position -- is part of the bigger problem we have in this country. I think it tends to get people talking past each other rather than to each other and subtly encourages approaching complex issues with simplistic solutions. And I think it often tends to discourage respect for opposing viewpoints. That's what I was reacting to.
