Christmas wreath peace sign banned

Homeowners association threatens to impose $25-a-day fine

Denver (AP) - A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan. MSNBC

As I recall, having been interested in Carl G. Jung's paperback "Man and His Symbols" back in Newfield high school (a controversial German associate of Sigmund Freud in the psychoanalytic movement who had his practice in Switzerland and notable patients, e.g. Herman Hesse) I found that the "Peace" symbol represents two semaphore flag positions for "N" and "D" and are said to be an acronym for "nuclear disarmament". Semaphore was used in many places as flags for sending messages, particularly in military signal corps.
