I think a certain 'doth protest too much' disingenuousness is being manifested in these responses. The CND symbol [even if disguised under such a designation as 'Peace Sign'], however worthy in intention and sentiment, does represent one certain political view: one indeed, no doubt, to which most Mudcatters would probably subscribe; but still political nevertheless.

The OP's point was surely that if, as is presumably generally regarded as the case, Google offers itself as a disinterested medium for various opinions to be expressed, it would be seemly. would it not, for it to remain objective, rather than itself to come down on one side or another — as it would appear to be doing by offering this political symbol without comment in its "holiday" logo.

Whatever one's own views, this is surely the case, is it not?
