There isn't really much more to say about it, is there?

I seem to recall hearing (like 40 years ago) that the peace symbol actually came from biblical times.

PEACE SYMBOL or NERO'S CROSS : A broken, upside-down cross. To Roman emperor Nero, who hated and persecuted the early Christians, it meant destruction of Christianity. Revived in the sixties by hippies and others who protested nuclear weapons, Western culture, and Christian values, it now symbolizes a utopian hope for a new age of global peace and earth-centered unity. But many of heavy metal rock fans would agree with Nero and use it to mock Christ and His followers.

So sorry. People suggest I don't contribute enough, or that when I do, it is contrary.

There is usually a reason if I am contrary.
