"It's that time of year again..."
 
   ... when lawns and street corners around this great land sprout signs exhorting passers-by to vote for or against a profusion of citizens' initiatives, ballot questions, referenda - call them what you will, they all have two things in common. They're all driven by the political agendas of people who will never meet the vast majority of the citizens they've inflicted their bloody signs on; and the signage in support of or opposition to them will never come right out and say what the question is actually about. Instead, they'll be couched in vague language about saving marriage or protecting the children or preserving the working forest or some such issue-driven malarkey - if they say anything at all besides telling you which way to vote on a numbered question.

Like me, you may have grown tired of the endless faff about such things, and the vagueness of the propaganda involved. Like me, you may want a way to take a firm stand about an issue that affects your day-to-day life in just as dramatic a fashion, if not more so, than the preservation of the working forest.

Well, now you can, with the special unlimited-but-probably-poorly-selling-edition Verbum Industries YES! on 17 lawn sign. Announce to the world that, this election season, you'll be coming out in favor of prime numbers in all their indivisible glory. This year's sign was improved from the previous model by relocating the exclamation point, thus making the slogan slightly less grammatical but fending off those mathematical smarty-pantses who smugly pointed out that 17 factorial isn't a prime number. Show 'em your colors, primes fans!
