Make love, not war is an anti-war slogan commonly associated with the American counterculture of the 1960s. It was used primarily by those who were opposed to the Vietnam War, but has been invoked in other anti-war contexts since. The "make love" part of the slogan often referred to the practice of free love that was growing among the American youth who denounced marriage as a tool for those who supported war and favored the traditional capitalist culture.〔(Emma Goldman:People & Events: Free Love ) PBS.org, Accessed February 3, 2014〕 The phrase's origins are unclear; Gershon Legman claimed to be the inventor of the phrase,〔Dudar, H., "Love and death (and schmutz): G. Legman's second thoughts," Village Voice, May 1, 1984, pp. 41-43.〕〔Scott, Janny: "(Gershon Legman, Anthologist of Erotic Humor, Is Dead at 81 )", The New York Times, March 14, 1999. URL last accessed 2014-05-01.〕 so did American singer Rod McKuen,〔McKuen, R. : ''(Flight Plan March 14, 2005 )''. URL last accessed 2014-05-01.〕 and some credit artist, social activist, folk figure, and sometime United States Presidential candidate under the Nudist Party on the Hippie 'Love Ticket' Louis Abolafia. Radical activists Penelope and Franklin Rosemont and Tor Faegre helped to popularize the phrase by printing thousands of "Make Love, Not War" buttons at the Solidarity Bookshop in Chicago, Illinois and distributing them at the Mother's Day Peace March in 1965. They were the first to print the slogan.〔Rosemont, Penelope. ''Dreams and Everyday Life: A Sixties Notebook.'' Chicago: Charles H. Kerr, 2008:40-41.〕 In April 1965, at a Vietnam demonstration in Eugene, Oregon, Diane Newell Meyer, then a senior at the University of Oregon, pinned a handwritten note on her sweater reading "Let's make love, not war", thus marking the beginning of the popularity of this phrase. A picture of Meyer wearing the slogan was printed in the ''Eugene Register-Guard'' and then a related article turned up in the ''New York Times'' on May 9, 1965. When the slogan was used in California in 1967, then Governor Ronald Reagan joked to protesters "Those guys (protesters ) look like they can't make either of both".〔D'Souza, Dinesh: ''Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader'', p. 71, Simon and Schuster 1999, ISBN 0684848236.〕 ==In popular culture== *The slogan was featured in two 1973 songs: John Lennon's "Mind Games" and Bob Marley's 1973 song "No More Trouble." It was the inspiration for a book by David Allyn: ''Make Love, Not War: The Sexual Revolution: An Unfettered History''. In the movie ''Field of Dreams'', fictional character Terence Mann is credited with coining the phrase. *The character of 'Pop', in the futuristic Queen musical play ''We Will Rock You'', shouts "Make love, not war!" as he is brainwashed at the start of the show, which leads into the stage performance of 'Radio Ga Ga'. On the DEC PDP-10, typing the command "make love" would result in the response "not war?" This action was copied on some older versions of UNIX. Some recent operating systems have brought the easter egg back, such as FreeBSD 7.0; as of (/src/usr.bin/make/job.c version 1.126.2.1 ) if you type "make love," the answer you will get is "Not war." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Make love, not war」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
