Happy Birthday Peace Sign

Reminds me of Stephen King's Hearts in Atlantis story.
It seems odd to me that the peace sign was invented (yes, I know it was) because I saw it everywhere growing up. That and the A in a circle denoting anarchy, although that was mostly graffiti.

How to brainwash your children? Tell them that the sign for anarchy is drawn by people who don't want laws. Any laws, but especially the good laws that protect people. So anyone would be free to kill and steal and hurt and burn down your home... It gives a visceral reaction to a 5 year old and tends to make them view the 16?17?yo punks in the town centre as harbingers of unimaginable horror.
