Stanton Finley has sent a message to a bunch o’ bloggers and others asking us to re-design the peace symbol.

The old peace symbol represents the letters “ND” in semaphor language. Since Nuclear Disarmament no longer tops the peacenik agenda, we could indeed use a new symbol.

I am refraining from suggesting my proposed “Forgive me” hand gesture, but I have no other ideas. Suggestions anyone?

Stan also asks us for a “manifesto” of peace. Here’s mine. (Prepare for Hippie Resurgence Syndrome.)

All people are created equal. We all have an equal right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

All people are created different. There is value in that difference and we need to preserve it.

All people are connected. We are connected by geography and responsibility, and, if we would let it, by love.
