As one French News pundit put it after announcing the news that George W. Bush had been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize: << Le monde est fou, fou, fou. >> As for Satanic, do you all know about the origin of the peace sign? It was designed and created in 1958 by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in Great Britain. The symbol combines the two semaphore symbols for ND, Nuclear Disarmament. It was divisive when it was first created, and nearly 50 years later it obviously still is. I would say that another sign of that basic divide in humanity is that nearly 50 years later, no matter how many of these symbols appeared on the landscape, we still haven't seen Nuclear Disarmament.
