Woman faces fines for wreath peace sign - Yahoo! News:
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.
I don't know...I see this

and I'm sure that I feel offended...really.

"satan?"  did this people totally forget the 60s ever happened?

~sigh~ How many christmas/holiday cards have I gotten over the years that wish people love and peace in the holiday season?
Its just a symbolic wish for peace, its neither condoning nor condemning the current situation.
I feel for people with loved ones far away in dangerous situation. I know that their absence if felt most strongly during the holidays.
But someone must really be a few sandwiches short of a picnic to find this offensive.
