No peace for Colorado woman?
http://www.comcast.net/news/index.jsp?cat=GENERAL&fn=/2006/11/26/528927.html&cvqh=itn_peacesign

DENVER - A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan.

Some residents who have complained have children serving in Iraq, said Bob Kearns, president of the Loma Linda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs. He said some residents have also believed it was a symbol of Satan. Three or four residents complained, he said.

"Somebody could put up signs that say drop bombs on Iraq. If you let one go up you have to let them all go up," he said in a telephone interview Sunday.

Lisa Jensen said she wasn't thinking of the war when she hung the wreath. She said, "Peace is way bigger than not being at war. This is a spiritual thing."

2. People in the suburbs don't want peace
They're the ones driving their cars which is what's causing this stupid war. I think a wise man once said: "You're gonna reap just what you sow."
