Well, I actually do suspect that she's making an anti-war statement, myself. The peace symbol originates with early antinuclear protests, and it's literally never existed outside of an American political context.
That said, it's not as if you can find Jesus saying a bad word for peace in most of the New Testament. Quite the contrary, if one reads the Sermon on the Mount.

It's definately satanic. I can't believe I never realized the connection between peace sign wreaths and hard-core satanism! You satan-lovin' hippies are gonna BURN!!!

Scott's Pet Peeve #8431
Random strangers on Facebook are not exactly known for impressive displays of intellect, but with several of my friends in the hospital recently, I've been annoyed by one particular bad habit that their friends seem to have: 1) Someone posts that s/he is experiencing a certain medical problem and is going into the hospital. Friends reply with supportive words. 2) A few hours later, the OP posts an update describing what the doctors are doing. Go »Give Me a Little Credit Here

This is the second of four weekly blog posts about diagnoses that have completely changed my life since the pandemic started, after The Dragon. Last week, I wrote about my liver disease, which doesn't have any direct, detectable signs. It's not as if I feel any pain in my liver, or that I can sense that it's not working in the same way that I could tell right away if, say, my eyes stopped working or my lungs stopped working.

I haven't written in this blog lately, and I hate to resume with a negative topic, but I need to vent and this makes a good outlet. I hate junk mail, as longtime TC users may recall from my many rants on the subject. Honestly, I've considered opening a storefront business that offers PO boxes to the public, and pre-filters your junk mail for you. Go »
