My brother Carl sent me this update. Go, Pagosa Springs!
Here’s a quote from the above article that made me happy: “In any case, there are now more peace symbols in Pagosa Springs, a town of 1,700 people 200 miles southwest of Denver, than probably ever in its history.
On Tuesday morning, 20 people marched through the center carrying peace signs and then stomped a giant peace sign in the snow perhaps 300 feet across on a soccer field, where it could be easily seen.”
If you can’t use a NY Times link, here’s another.
My favorite part:
“Town Manager Mark Garcia said Pagosa Springs was building its own peace wreath, too. Mr. Garcia said it would be finished by late Tuesday and installed on a bell tower in the center of town.”
Good lord. People actually think a peace symbol is a sign of Satan? I’m frightened! Sheesh!
Yeah, I posted a comment to the original posting, but I’ll put the link here, too. Democracy Now! did a segment on this: http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/12/01/1456208
