Tattoo Suggestions – WE HAVE A WINNER!

I would like to thank everyone who submitted tattoo suggestions after I announced my plan to get an IVAW tattoo. Some are funny, some are angry, some are wise, but the one that sums it up for me came from the documentary Zeitgeist, which I highly recommend. Enjoy.

A just and lasting peace,
Among ourselves,
And with all nations.

Of course you could always use from your Sept. 15 speech "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty."...and there are some really good quotes that I like but might not fit exactly for this like

not only by the reason,
but also by the heart."

Ben Franklin

When the power of love
Overcomes the love of power,
The world will know peace.

I am not quite sure where or when he said this, so anyone who knows the source, please let me know. So as soon as I can afford it and find a tattoo artist who I trust to do an accurate mirror of the tattoo on my left arm, I'll get this on my right arm next to "IVAW."
