Anti-war holiday gifts
Found an article talking about a number of anti-war holiday gifts you can get this season, so I thought I'd post in case anyone is interested. Here's a paragraph from it, and the URL

"For a very special comrade, cafeshops.com offers boxers and thongs that are decorated with a picture of a protester in a gas mask and the slogan "Peace Now" in five languages. The same sentiment is also available on Frisbees ($8.49), wall clocks ($12.99), stainless steel travel mugs ($16.99)?for trips to Washington??and even, for $14.99, a white teddy bear (surely the only critter on the toy shelf sporting a shirt with a picture of a gas mask.) As it turns out, he is not the only bear with an ax to grind: Peace.mennolink.org has a children's peace bear package featuring a beanbag polar bear (his shirt says "Peace begins with me!"), a coloring poster of a dove, and something called a peacemaker certificate ($10.50 for everything). No danger of this bear getting a swelled head: The text accompanying his picture reads, "Not the best-looking bear on the market, this little bear needs love and acceptance."
