ENOUGH

Even here, as I drive these corn or soybean lined roads, the ugly signs sprout from the ground by the dozens. Not one or two, but a dozen or so in a row, as if one weren't enough to convey the message. All of them displaying the same message.

Wrigley Field, once a pristine mecca is peppered with ugly advertisements of one sort or another. Golfers and tennis players are beginning to resemble NASCAR drivers and their vehicles, as shirts and hats sport more logos with each additional tournament.

Each walk, strikeout, hit or homer is sponsored by someone. As a matter of fact just about any action on the field is brought to you by one company or another. Not to mention the regular commercial breaks which now run into the ballgame as they get longer and longer.

Reading a newspaper becomes an adventure as you have to hunt for articles amongst all the advertisements. TV programs grow shorter and the commercials longer, as you lose track of the story for all the commercial breaks.

Lets not even talk about our mail as the carriers fall by the wayside with injuries from carrying all that junk mail they stuff our mail boxes with. Not to mention how many trees sacrificed there lives for said junk.

Billboards and neon signs blind us with there massive paper and electronic displays. Why not boycott the worst violators and no longer purchase their products? Then, maybe just maybe, we can go back to a more tranquil visual and audio society.
