We're not flowers stupid.....

Don't know why, but I have been thinking about this lately. I used to have a poster in the 70's, during high school. Cute little hippie thing, it read, "If flowers grow in Peace, Why can't we?"
I had this very liberal sociology teacher, and very cute and cool. He would let us bring in posters to class and hang them on the wall. Of course, I brought in my little flower power one. So proud to see it hanging there everyday. Well one day my friend and I were admiring all the posters...and there is was, my first graffiti experience! Some awful person had written in pen underneath "because we're not flowers stupid!" Can you imagine? How rude! Funny thing is, I think about that little poster every so often....especially when I see people protesting the war. I hate war, we all do. "Flowers grow in peace, why can't we? But guess what? He was right, we're not flowers stupid.....
