By the time someone finished reading all of it, they'd probably wind up rear-ending you.

Bumper stickers need to be maybe eight words at most.

Plus, what you've quoted actually requires some thinking about, which normally is a good thing. But bumper stickers need to be very obvious in what they say.

Some good bumper stickers from the past:

Impeach the Cox-sacker
. -- it relies on the near-pun, almost obscenity.

Rugby players eat their dead -- for those who don't get this reference, it's about the plane crash in in the Andes in 1972 when the survivors resorted to cannibalism to stay alive.

I actually saw those two bumper stickers way back then.
