 Who doesn't remember John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1970 anti-war statement? At the height of the fighting in Vietnam, these posters appeared as billboards in key cities around the world. The tag line 'if you want' confused a lot of people, but what John and Yoko were saying is that it is an individual choice to be made, we each can choose to live a life without violence, to put war behind us.
And, luckily, they're saying it again. 40 years later, Yoko Ono has put these posters up for free download at her site ImaginePeace.com. Plus they're available in many different languages.

You can think what you want about Yoko; Dragon Lady, she broke up The Beatles (not true), she has sold every napkin John Lennon ever scribbled on (maybe true), whatever, but she has never wavered on speaking out for peace and against war -- any war. Like John Lennon, she advocates non-violence.
How nice to remember at Christmas. Peace.
