Not so. Ed is in a golf cart, and you can drive by him on the street, and then you don't see him again. She wore her shirt/political sign to a class or gathering at a pool. Others attending this class or in attendance at the pool have to endure her idiotic political views if they want to enjoy time in or about pool. She certainly has the right to her views, but shoving it down people's throats in a class or a pool environment is ignorant and rude and ruins it for everyone in attendance. I don't know why people feel they have to do this. I really feel sorry for her neighbors who have to look at her stupid political shrine in her garage every day of the week. That's not what the Villages is about - its supposed to be friendly and welcoming. She and her ilk have turned it into a battlefield. We all see people flaunting the rules and putting up political flags with disparaging slogans. The architectural review committee should take a more active stance on banning this stuff. Political signs at one's home during election season are one thing, but having them on view 14 hours/day, 365 days a year are something else. And by the way, she has gotten into shouting matches with neighbors who didn't agree with her views.
