My neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts (Obama bumper stickers,
gung-ho socialized medicine, "guns should be banned", etc.).
So last week I put this sign up in my yard after one of his
anti-gun rants at a neighborhood cocktail party. The sign
wasn't up more than an hour before he called the police and
wanted them to make me take down the sign.
Fortunately, the officer politely informed him that it was not their
job to take such action without a court order and that he had to
file a complaint "downtown" first, which would be reviewed
by the city attorney to see if it violated any city, county, or
state ordinances, which if there was a violation a court order
would be sent to the offending party (me) to "remove the
sign in seven days".

After several weeks he was informed that the sign was legal
(by a quarter of an inch) and there was nothing the city could
do, which obviously made him madder. I tried to smooth
things over by inviting him to go shooting with me and my
friends at the hunt club but that seemed to make him even
more angry. I then asked him if he wanted to go to a Tea
Party rally but again he declined my outreach efforts to bring
about a better understanding between political and social
opponents.
I am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship (notice
I did not say friendship), any suggestions would be welcome.
Anyway, that's life in our neck of the woods, how's about yours?
