政治符號無所不在。政治學裏有門叫「圖像政治學」 (political symbolism) 玩意兒。如果看倌們好奇硬要問「圖像政治學」啥內容 ? 如何定義 ? 功能為何 ? 一連串有文化的大哉問，那我只能套用已過世前美國聯邦最高法院大法官 Potter Stewart 對色情作品的說法「 I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material [pornography] . . . but I know it when I see it. 」 來回答。因為呢，圖像政治學就像色情作品，它是一種象徵，也是一種表達，涉及基本自由人權及財產擁有權，可透過多元載體傳遞，形式千變萬化，運用存乎一心。用的妙，言簡意賅，發人深省；用的不當，就像最近丹麥《日德蘭郵報》、挪威《 Magazinet 》雜誌，刊登轉載涉及褻瀆、污衊及詆譭回教穆罕默德聖人的漫畫，《華盛頓郵報》登截肢美國大兵及侖斯斐醫生漫畫，捅馬蜂窩，人人喊打，叮滿頭包，就不快樂了 !!!

開車跑公路，我喜歡讀小轎車的保險桿、車體貼紙。因為它是反映政治的符號之一。不同地域，貼紙呈現不同問題，反映不同風俗民情，自處態度。有人對這種貼紙，或一切圖像表達很反感，會不爽棒棍砸車。我可愛這種有趣輿情呈現，開車不無聊，還能長知識。總的說， Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself 。分享最近外出路上看到的有趣貼紙，就不整句翻譯了。
