Let’s leverage common ground

When I moved to Kalispell a few years ago I visited a new friend’s house and saw that neighbors at the end of her street had hung a massive banner across their garage.  

The banner’s message can’t be printed here. The first word rhymed with “buck” and the second named a politician. 

It made me wonder whether parents in the neighborhood had to explain that language to their kids, language that wouldn’t go over well at many schools and dinner tables or pass muster with the Federal Communications Commission.
