War and Peace

Only in America…

“A subdivision has withdrawn its threat of $25 daily fines against a homeowner who put a Christmas wreath shaped like a peace sign on the front of her home…

Jensen was ordered to take the wreath down when some residents in her 200-home subdivision saw it as a protest of the Iraq war. Bob Kearns, president of the board, also said some saw it as a symbol of Satan. (These are probably the same people who saw the face of the Virgin Mary in a toasted cheese sandwich.)

The homeowners' association demanded Jensen remove the wreath from her house, saying it doesn't allow flags or signs that are considered divisive.”

Peace is divisive? Of course it is! Yes, some people are actually against peace, although they never put wreaths shaped like “war” signs on the front of their homes.
