IDAHO FALLS, Idaho   A war protest in which 179 stop signs were defaced by stenciling the word "war" in white letters under the "stop" has morphed into an exercise in free market capitalism.

A judge ordered that at least some of the defaced stop signs belonged to the people who vandalized them once they paid restitution. Those signs are now being sold briskly and at a profit for $80 apiece.

That's sick and wrong.

Yeah, next time I want to make a political statement, I'll vandalize something and then after I pay to have it replaced, I'll demand that the item vandalized belongs to me now. And then I'll sell it to like minded people for a profit and to spread my message. Excellent!

Yay for that judge! rolleyes

All of the wind and cold down there must have made him crazy.
