Unbelievable...........Is this a "fight" over a symbol of peace? LMAO.....Only at the 'Cat.

There is no doubt to the origin but maybe we all need to take a detour to the CND Website and note they use it on the cover of their "PEACE Education Pack" as you can see. Now read the paragraph at the top. The first sentence really........It says(emphasis mine):

"CND Peace Education aims to empower young people with knowledge on peace and nuclear issues and support them in making their own decisions. Activities are all based on co-operative and active learning."

To help you a bit more if you choose not to go deeper on their sight, it also says, regarding the symbol history:

"The symbol almost at once crossed the Atlantic. Bayard Rustin, a close associate of Martin Luther King had come over from the US in order to take part in that first Aldermaston March. He took the symbol back to the United States where it was used on civil rights marches. Later it appeared on anti-Vietnam War demonstrations and was even seen daubed in protest on their helmets by American GIs. Simpler to draw than the Picasso peace dove, it became known, first in the US and then round the world as the peace symbol. It appeared on the walls of Prague when the Soviet tanks invaded in 1968, on the Berlin Wall, in Sarajevo and Belgrade, on the graves of the victims of military dictators from the Greek Colonels to the Argentinian junta, and most recently in East Timor.

I have to believe, based on that and the season and the other postcards GOOGLE used as the days went along, that it was simply another way to say "Peace On Earth"..........perhaps to a passing alien spaceship or whatever. I can't see how that is too political or at least it isn't blatantly so to my limited mind. Now if they had said "Kill All the Fuckin' Jews" or "Hang the Niggers" I would definitely have a problem as I would hope to believe the rest of you would as well.

........geeziz..............

Murray old friend, I love ya' and may I wish you a Merry Christmas or a Happy Holiday or even a Sloppy Easter Egg? Whatever you want I also send my wishes for peace in wherever and whenever through whatever!
