"I can only say that, if you over there persist in regarding this as just a symbol without known origin or meaning..."


gee... *I* was just trying to help last night by acknowledging real origins that I had not known about before.....while trying to put in perspective what it has become. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to feel guilty now for not 'knowing' earlier.

I marched in Washington DC in a couple of the huge war protests, and wore buttons with that symbol on them, and in those crowds of hundreds of thousands, I doubt there were many who were aware of CND origins. I guess the ocean was much wider then, without the WWW to keep us colonials informed. *wry smile"

I will now retire to the far corner and try on my hair shirt..... ☺
