What's with the campaign signs?

November 4th has come and gone. Everyone in America got to make their voice heard about who our next elected officials are going to be. Some are happy, some aren't, some are just indifferent.

Regardless of how you feel, why do you still have campaign signs in your yard and stickers on your vehicle? Why are there still signs along every road and on every corner?

Is it because you are voicing a protest against who was elected? are you still celebrating? or did you just forget?

A small business nearby still has 15 or 20 signs sitting next to their driveway. Another business has still got a couple campaign signs in their windows.

I'm all for supporting your candidate but, can we please, at the very least, go get all the signs down that are littering the area? All the ones still next to the road are the for the people who lost the election. All the winners' signs have mysteriously vanished.

I'm tempted to make a list of all the candidates with signs still arrayed all over the place. Then when the next election comes around, I can pick candidates based on whether or not they and their supporters picked up signs after the last election. That might be better than what some people choose their candidates based on.
