I thought this was great and had to share!

This guys neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts (Obama bumper stickers, Gung-ho socialized medicine, "guns should be banned", etc.). So, He put this sign up in his yard after one of his neighbors anti-gun rants at a neighborhood cocktail party. The sign wasn't up more than an hour before his neighbor called the police wanting them to make him 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 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. He tried to smooth things over by inviting his neighbor to go shooting with he and his friends at the hunt club, but that seemed to make him even more angry. He then asked him if he wanted to go to a Tea Party rally, but again the neighbor declined the outreach efforts to bring about a better understanding between political and social opponents.
He's now at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship (notice he did not say friendship),
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Anyway, that's life in his neck of the woods, how's about yours?
