Consequences of overanalyzing bumper stickers

Peace secured by violence is not peace. It is subjugation.

And as I see it, most peace is secured by violence on some level (mutually assured destruction, cops with guns & night sticks, electric chairs, razor wire along borders). Is there real peace anywhere?

Dog is love. I suppose the reason relations between people are kind and civil without the threat of violence is because of mutual affection. We're nice to the people we like. So unless the peace arises out of love, it's not peace.

Whirled Peas. Funny how some people say "world peace" and mean "world love" and some people say "bring peace and security" and mean "bring subjugation and control".
