Just saw an American flag with a peace symbol on a Chevy commercial
Are even the corporations getting tired of the war or is a desperate GM just recognizing the demographics?

1. I've noticed companies who get $$$ from lux items
Are going against the war in some way.

Wars make people spend less on luxury items, and the fact that their fleet is made up of Gas Guzzlers (and how this war has driven up the price of gas) can't be good

4. The Tide of Public Opinion has turned.............
Opposition to the 'war' is a substantial majority of the American people.

6. Going for the "hell no, we won't go" boomer set, perhaps?
Most youngsters nowadays think the "peace symbol" is what's on the front of a Mercedes-Benz....

9. I saw the same commercial.. JC Mellencamp singing?
When it showed pictures of America one of the pics was of a flooded city (I'm presuming New Orleans) among other unusual pics. Very strange.
