Here's a little update to the peace sign wreath battle. Link via Alex
A Colorado couple has won their battle to keep a holiday wreath shaped like a peace sign on the front of their house. Last week, Lisa Jensen and Bill Trimarco received a letter from the board of their homeowners association threatening them with fines of $25 a day unless they removed the peace wreath from their house.
The couple refused and as word spread, others in their town put up peace wreaths in solidarity. Earlier this week, there was a march of people carrying peace signs through the center of town. And a peace wreath has been placed on a bell tower in the middle of the town square. The town website also posted a message saying that it wholly supported the Jensen/Trimarco wreath and "also wishes for peace on Earth."The three-member board has withdrawn their demand, issued an apology to the couple and resigned from the association.
The Durango Herald has the in-depth story
Both the Town of Pagosa Springs website and the Pagosa Springs Chamber of Commerce website have disclaimers posted.

You wouldn't think a peace symbol would be such a controversial thing after being in general use for so many years.
I guess the whole idea of peace threatens so people. As I put in my blog All that means is that they don't know how to transmute their vital power into love, love into creativity, creativity into vision, vision into a way of the cosmos and the laws of nature. He who doesn't know how to make these transmutations will externalize his energy as aggression, as competition, as the fear of being taken over."

And it's not just peace, if you add in the idea of orgasm helping to achieve it watch out! That fear and agression Margo Anand was talking about can hit you like a ton of bricks.
I got that blog post on Renderosity deleted twice today and even after 6 emails complaining about it to the admins it's still "under review"
I guess some people need to focus on peace a lot more than others do and some sybmols are a lot more emotionally charged than others. Maybe that means it's a step in the right direction by that kind of reaction since it might have more effects than you would think at 1st.
I figured that's a worthy cause to contribute positive energy for a brighter future so to help spread the message I made some T-shirts, Thongs, Hats and Boxer shorts for people to use that would remind them of what they could accomplish. You can get them here:

Yikes!
Guess we'll have to take it slow when we tell them about Adam's first wife, Lilith.
And "orgasms" too?
Even Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei VIII, understands the value of "human horn".
I have no idea what either of you is talking about!!! :>
