DENVER, Colorado (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.
Some residents who have complained have children serving in Iraq, said Bob Kearns, president of the Loma Linda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs.
He said some residents believed the wreath was a symbol of Satan. Three or four residents complained, he said.
Peace sign a sign of Satan? I must've missed that one in Sunday school, but there ya go.

Maybe someone should try to ssue THEM, or complain about them for being pro-war, I hate it when people say what tehy like, then blame you for your beliefs, I of course don't really believe a lot, but you can critisize me all you want, I would have paid them 25 bucks, then moved the peace sign to a more visible place, becuase if they allow you to have it, then they might as well see it. And anyways would they rather their sons be HOME for christmas, or do they like the fact that they might be dying in a war??
