For the times...

The Theory's method of signing out made me think of this.

I do hope for peace.

This is my favorite
MIR-
The russian (and generally slavic) word for peace. If you write it like this:
MUP
It looks closer to the cyrillic letters.

I like it because the same exact word, same exact spelling, same exact pronunciation means
WORLD

So,
MIRA MIR

or
MUPA MUP

means "peace for the world"

mirnyy
or
MUPHUU

means
"peaceful"

this is the name of the town in Yakutia, Russia that I lived in for a year.
It was peaceful, and I am grateful that it was peaceful when I was there, in 1992.

Moscow had just been less peaceful.

That is my personal favorite word for peace.

Mir, mira mir, dla vcex

peace, world peace, for all.
