Campaign Signs and the people behind them

You know, I have a couple of signs in my yard for candidates in the November 2nd election - Kristi Noem for the U.S. House of Representatives and Mark Johnston for South Dakota Senate District 12.  I placed the signs there a couple of weeks ago.  I noticed today that the young couple across the street had placed a sign in their yard for the "incumbant" candidate running against Mark Johnston.  Certainly they placed it to offset the many signs on this street for Johnston, but I think there is an underlying reason other than that.  First of all, let me say that I admire the young couple for taking a stance.  Many young people won't - or don't.  But I think this couple took the stance because they're mad and confused.  I believe they are mad there is a movement away from the liberal policies that were espoused from their professors during their recently taken classes at the college where they recently graduated.  So, the problem with young people is they have not been exposed to the world, or even a second side, just to liberal professors.  Apparently, we need to add a new class to the discrimination law - Conservatives.  That way, schools would have to hire as many Conservatives as they do liberals.  Then young people would be able to choose for themselves, without the propaganda from just one side.  Write in to your Congressperson and let them know you want this new law.  I'm guessing this would be a lot harder to pass than a health care bill.
