Happy Birthday Peace Sign
 

The Peace Sign is 50 years old today.
What a wild ride it's been.

make that "what a long strange trip it's been."

last night I saw the South Park episode where Cartman was the only one who could save the town from the hippies who were taking over with a music festival. He said he didn't like the 'giggling stoner' attic-type hippie, was repulsed by the 'drum ring' hippie but really despised the 'college know-it-all' types. Ah, Cartman. Have some beefy logs and cheesy poofs on me.

oh, and, peace, dudes.

my high school quote was "what a long, strange trip it's been." :)

From Wikipedia:

Time to get on the Magic Bus.

No Magic Bus in 1958.

Good point. Let's just say they helped spread the WORD. Peace bro.

Oh yes, definitely helped it catch on.

LSD does wonders

To scramble yur eggs. Yes it does.

I just realized something. While I was duly entertained by various peace sign graphics bouncing around the culture until 1973, right down to "Hawks and Doves" in Mad Magazine -- I never ever used or drew the symbol.

I absolutely, positively, without a doubt, believe you.

FYI, I just bought 2 business card wallets made in India from therainforestsite.com for $1.85 each. They were on sale because the embroidered peace signs on them were stitched on upside down.;)

Now Bruce, this one puts you on the spot: totalitarians abuse populations, do they not? Above the law, quick to war, and so on and so on? Quite the long list of sins, right?

So are they or are they not the walking, working definition of evil?

Now why would anyone think making peace with evil is a good thing?

Ball's in your court now.

Who said anything about making peace with evil? Not every country has to be friend or foe. The world is much more complex than your black or white view.

If a people are oppressed, it's up to them to remove their oppressor, just as we will be doing in November.
