We're trying to sell peace, like a product, you know, and sell it like people sell soap or soft drinks. And it's the only way to get people aware that peace is possible, and it isn't just inevitable to have violence. Not just war � all forms of violence. People just accept it and think 'Oh, they did it, or Harold Wilson did it, or Nixon did it,' they're always scapegoating people. And it isn't Nixon's fault. We're all responsible for everything that goes on, you know, we're all responsible for Biafra and Hitler and everything. So we're just saying "SELL PEACE" � anybody interested in peace just stick it in the window. It's simple but it lets somebody else know that you want peace too, because you feel alone if you're the only one thinking 'wouldn't it be nice if there was peace and nobody was getting killed.' So advertise yourself that you're for peace if you believe in it.

Thank you so much Arjun. Its great to see that he still manage to get people to think, with his powerful words and songs. :)

"It's just that the translations have gone wrong." That is one smart comment by John Lennon and summarises all the evil done with religion by churches, sects, clerics, fanatics and kings down the ages, to control the minds and hearts of people rather than set them free and teach them to love and help each other. And a superb, masterful picture, Yanieck, congratulations!

This is just magnificent and what a perfect quotation...I think so many of us have moved beyond the old rigid "old man in the sky" to a God of love who is part of each of us. This image...stunning, very original and truly moving. F/V
