I'm considering making one, Toker. Sounds like a good idea.

Here's one.

Hmmmm. We've discussed just about everything in the world here... now...crafting peace symbol wreathes.

I did it for a couple of years ... it was visible from a busy artery at the edge of town, so many saw it ...

Japanese willow? Reminds me of this I saw this morning.

You should be able to form a good version of one out of bendable and straight twigs...then wire greenery around them...or leave them bare.

Look around. Maybe there's an old barrel ring you could start with as a base. Bet Stick could find a way to whip you up a nice base for one. You can tie greenery and or lights to it. If you have the right equipment you could cut it our of plywood or some rat-wire or something. Anything heavy enough to hold it's shape and to attach our greenery and a hanging loop to.

I'm thinking bent twig wreathes could be turned into peace symbols with the right placing of the right width ribbon or sticks.

It would take a pretty heavy gauge wire to form one that was fairly large, but it could be formed with wire. The way acting, a peace symbol wreath formed from rusty barbed wire might be a good one.

Maybe I shouldn't admit that in public in today's atomosphere.

I love the peace and reefer art

I had a nice white t with a big black peace symbol on it, for years ...

I was just a kid, but peace sounded like a good idea then, too.

We'll start over with something better...or with the original plan.

EJ's comment on your comment are very interesting and make sense, as well.

It certainly wasn't capitalism that sent the Red Army to overrun Kabul.

I think partly they shared the illusion with Bush and the neocons that one could modernize and democratize a country by war.

They saw it as part of the "class war" -- that's Marx's idea. War is supposed to be a natural part of the progression to socialism, according to Marx.

Some people to this day still try to paint the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan some regrattable but excusable part of the global class struggle AGAINST capitalism.

So you see, war isn't ONLY caused by capitalism. We think it's about capitalism NOW because the Soviet Union is no longer on the map and people are conveniently forgetting it ever existed.

He reminded the interviewer that he was also predicting the collapse of America.

America???? How could that happen?

He said that military economy is unsustainable and any country that overinvests its national resources in war is headed for doom in the long run.

It's really scary in that they are so closely and unconciously, perhaps, aligning themselves with the witch burners of the past.

As we all know, there are many enemies of peace. They cannot tolerate the thought of peace and they will attack it, or the selected sign or symbol for it, however they can.

I was at his place in Reno, and I woke up and put on a t-shirt that a friend had made for an organization he conceived but never actually launched which he called the World Peace Foundation. My dad (WWII veteran, of course) saw the shirt and got angry. Can you imagine? Angry that his son believed in peace. His neighbor across the street was an old RAF fighter pilot, and he was worried about being embarrassed by my shirt, that the guy would see that I was some kind of "peacenik freak" (my words, not his, but that was what he felt) and think that he (my dad) was into peace also. Perish the thought!

That incident really blew my mind, because it showed me that he had no affinity for peace at all, 60 years after fighting in WWII. It proved that he believed in war more than peace and cared more about what his neighbor thought than what I believed in. It was very damaging to our relationship.

The peace sign is a sign that peace is out of the box.

War is war. All is fair in love and war. Any kind of war. War on drugs, war on terror, war on reason, war on the Constitution, war on peace.

It's a new day for war again today. War on medical marijuana 'users' is really cool too.

Any kind of war these days is inside of the box.

Killing is the thing to do these days. It's all over the place. Death is a commodity.

Peace is divisive. War rules these days. Peace doesn't have a chance.

The flag-draped coffins coming home from Iraq are testimony that death is where it is all at these days.

Jesus Christ would have been killed by the current US government. The 'War President' probably would have had him put to death. Terry Schiavo was 'put to death,' for her own good, of course.

Peace causes irreparable harm to the current 'government' that has been absconded by the damned 'warmakers.'

The Three Kings of the Orient came to honor the Prince of Peace. Too bad the modern day 'rulers' don't have the common decency to do the same. Peace doesn't pay, war does.

The only gifts the current crop of kings have to bear is war. It's so cool.

I don’t understand any reference with the peace sign to Satanism except that I understand when people reject Christ God Our Father; reject, “love one another,” they will not think clearly. War mongers are smart yet they are dumb.

The peace sign simply signifies peace and is an anti war sign in general.

I don’t think anyone else will have an answer to how the peace symbol relates to Satanism either. It is I think, the first time I heard such bull.

An then consider this:

Just to get their way, some warmonger uses the satan word to get the peace sign removed. Just because they say it doesn't make it so, but because they say it gives power when relating to others of like mind, when and because they both identify with rationalizing something sinful like war, killing, murder etc.

That type of thinking has produced cannabis prohibition.

Hot Lips: That man is a prisoner of war, doctor.

Hawkeye: So are you, sweetheart, but you don't know it.

Last Century's peace sign.

For today’s,

Turn that baby 180 degrees.

Now what do You see?

The New peace sign for this century has the tree of life and the hanging Christ in it.

Remember, the last page of the Bible informs Us the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations.

War mongers reject the tree of life / kaneh bosm / cannabis.

Rejection of God.

In the physical life, mortals may be outwardly beautiful though inwardly unlovely.

Spiritual (soul) death. -see Urantia paper 112

Survival doesn't come from winning or surviving war; it comes from obeying the Christ / choosing eternal survival.

A choice of destiny acceptance or destiny rejection.

War mongers create a world of toil.

Like telling a lie; one lie covers up the next lie...

Committed war mongers must direct their thought patterns to rationalize war and leave spiritual reality behind.

DENVER - In a town in scenic southwestern Colorado homeowners are battling over whether a Christmas wreath that includes a peace sign is an anti-Iraq war protest or even a promotion of Satan.

"We have had three or four complaints. Some people have kids in Iraq and they are sensitive," said Bob Kearns, president of the Loma Linda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs. He also said some believe it is a symbol of Satan.

Jeff Heitz, of the association board, sent a letter to Lisa Jensen saying: "Loma Linda residents are offended by the peace sign...

CONT.
