Wanting Peace is Offensive ?

"A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan."


Unbelievable. I did not think peace could be such a divisive issue. What has happened to the ideal of peace on earth and goodwill to all during the holiday season? Has humanity lost its way so badly, that peace is now the enemy to be feared?

I did miss the 60's protest movement, so maybe I just don't understand the true emotions wrapped up in this symbol. That being said, I'm still flabbergasted at the response.

this is a tested and true way of firing up the base. regularly on a slow news day, rush limbaugh will cover a story of a veteran whose gated community has forced him to remove his american flag. same same. peace isn't offensive. neither is patriotism. on the other hand, rules are rules.
