8. Hell yeah. I do it everyday at work. Nobody gets it though...
I work in the South, so that probably explains that.

16. Last Saturday night I wore.....
a peace pin....first time since 1966! IT FELT GREAT! OF COURSE, I WAS ON SAFE GROUND...
at a CSNY concert but it gave me the courage to wear it again today while I did mundane things like go to the post office and grocery store. Think I'll start with the peace hand sign again too.....thanks for re-minding me.....! It's damn well about time we "said" something.....bet this starts more than a few conversations around the country....and that's good.

18. Starting right now.
I never think to do that unless I'm participating in or driving by some kind of demonstration. Duh! What a great idea.

20. Great Idea
Wanted: peace sign T-Shirt.

Hey, if they get to fight Vietnam all over again in Iraq, we should absolutely do the peace movement thing again.

27. Been doing it for about 2 months now.
I just changed my wave to a peace sign. Seemed so natural.

I've gotten a couple of either read between the lines, or W back, other wise positive smiles, few peace signs returned though.

NGU!
