I was driving down the road the other day, when I noticed what I think is a strange combination of "messages" on the back of the vehicle in front of me. The first thing that caught my eye was the bumper sticker, shown below:
Now, that's not the first time I've seen or heard that sentiment expressed, so it wasn't particularly surprising. But then I noticed the license plate... Virginia, like many states, has special plates that allow you to voice your support for a particular cause or organization or whatever, and some portion of the fee paid goes toward that cause. Right next to the bumper sticker, there was a "Friend of the Chesapeake" license plate, a combination that struck me as just a little odd, given that the general impression one gets of the "Drill" folks is not one friendly to an environmental cause.
Obviously, nothing is ever as simplistic as it seems, and there are many shadings and subtleties of stance on both environmental causes and energy policy. But this is a somewhat unexpected mix of messages, no?

Maybe the car is owned by a dentist.
So the guy loves to run his big powerboat around the Bay on the weekends... and he hates paying for gas! I suggest he look into sailing instead!
