People get testy with their campaign sign

In Chapel Hill, N.C., people mean business when it comes to their campaign sign. One man was tired of his McCain/Palin sign being stolen or swapped, so he decided to hook the sign up to an electrical fence power source.

When the neighboord 9-year-old boy came by on Tuesday to switch the signs, he was shocked.

First of all, what kind of 9-year-old goes around switching McCain/Palin signs to Obama signs? This is when you know Election Day is really on the way, when people start sending their kids out to switch signs.

In my opinion, hooking up the electric fence to the sign was a little dramatic, and probably not very safe, but the boy shouldn't have been attempting to switch the signs either.

I think it is ok if people are trying to pass out signs door-to-door, but don't take down the ones people already have up. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so take it down a notch, no one needs to get hurt.
