I don't have any evidence on whether he signed anything like this .. though very few people would sign a blanket opposition to all wars at all times. However, in general, he did seem to be idealistic about the possibility of reducing violence and other nasty things as evidenced by his interest in communes (i.e. Walden II).
I also remember (in the Pigeons in a Pelican article) him addressing the ethical issue of sacrificing 3 pigeons per missile. Don't want to take the time to find the elaborate quote but it was to the effect that such a concern is a "peacetime luxury". He did work on the Pigeon in a Pelican project while he could have been doing other things, so he appeared committed to Allied victory ... of course, most people in the US who lived though that period supported the effort ... doesn't make them warmongers. Most, when talked to (do it quick, 100 die/day in the US) would have preferred making hammocks at Twin Oaks.

I am not aware that he signed anything opposing wars. Didn't he say that we should get the Russians before they get us? Where was Skinner when biologist George Wald and Bertrand Russel were protesting? michael This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
