Why did that one movie poster with a girl flashing a peace sign get removed? Because the movie studio didn't want to offend someone when they saw the peace sign? Please, Tim Robbins and Susan Surranden(sp?) created controversy when they flashed peace signs at the Emmys(?, I didn't watch it). Does this bother anybody else?
It seems like the American public is growing more intolerant of differing opinions with each passing day. Have you noticed how it is now politically INCORRECT to publicly support peace? Suddenly everybody (namely famous persons) are shunned because they flashed a peace sign in publice and risked "offending" someone.
Could it be because people assume that supporting peace means a lack of support for the troops? I could see the relationship when looking at the harcore peace supporters, but I believe they are a small minority. When looking at the majority of us peace supporters, I believe that mentality, and troops support are hardly mutually exclusive. I can go on and on about this, really explain my thoughts on the subject, but I don't want to write a novel for a first post.
So, what are your thoughts, anything at all, on this?
