Slog - Comments on Letter of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/letter_of_the_day_34 At Summit and Olive St a white circle showed up around June 22. I assumed the city had painted it in preparation for a roundabout but didn't bother looking into it. Last night, someone decided to change it into a peace sign: I love this city : ) Brett...

What do you have against me?

Deep down inside you are embarrased. You are embarrased because you know that I am right and that your antics only prove one thing. It proves that you are deep down inside you may be a decent human being, but you are so overwelmed with your own self hatred that you continue with self destructive behavior. Perhaps some therapy might do you some good. After all, as you well know, "Bug Chasers" are not an urban myth.

Who cares about the awful weather, the insane taxes, ridiculous cost of living, passive-aggressive locals, gridlock, four-hour winter days, and the inability to get a meal after 10PM? This makes up for everything.

Dear god, man. Get a grip.

That's it? Back home in Berkeley we may have too many hippies, but at least no one gets excited over a damn graffitied peace sign.

Right on. Then again, Brett probably hasn't worked a real job a day in his life. Hence, a peace sign is just peachy and everything you mention means nothing to him. Off to the coffee shop, then to call home to Kennewick and get the gosip..

lemme guess, you are in your mid twenties and think that because Seattle is so tragiclly "Hip" that it is a great place to live.

Perhaps when you grow up and begin to actually participate with us Grown Ups, things like cost of living and taxes will mean something to ya. Until then, enjoy the live music and the undying stupidity.

I drive across the Oregon state line, and suddenly there's a fast lane again. It seems to be a Washington-only phenomenon.

If you prefer Oregon because of its fast lane, then by all means, organize your life so that you're not horrible and bitter about where you live and MOVE TO OREGON. In these tumultuous times, pointing out small happinesses is an act of rebellion and of hope... Sure, Seattle has problems. Everywhere has problems. That doesn't mean we can't take the time to celebrate what's great about our communities.

I don't even live in Seattle. And, I'm a homeowner in another part of Western Washington. But, most importantly, I find it to be the height of stupidity to bitch about a place that you either chose to live in, or don't have enough sense to move away from.

Summit Avenue is basically a jet landing runway if you stand at Union St and look down it all the way to East Howell. Maybe at last a traffic circle is on its way.

You really should avoid talking about subjects you have no understanding of.

But trying to explain to you why it is stupid to talk of being "Non-judgemental" and being all anti-christian would be like throwing pearls before swine.

Someday you may realize what a shmuck you were when you actually stop "fighting" against decent normal people. But in case you don't, best just stay on Captial Hill...

What, a dude can't work hard downtown, try and earn his keep, pay rent, have relationships, and then let a peace sign painted on the ground give him a LITTLE bit of happiness?

How about saying, "Yeah, that's kinda cool." Like that ol' "Stop for me, it's the Claw" sign. Good times.
