I'm all for protecting animals (though I like eating them too), and working towards peace too. But saying things about the Goddess of Peace and the creatures of the forest displays either a tin ear or a lust for marginalization. Almost everyone, including many off-the-spectrum radicals, find that ludicrous. There is no goddess of peace, so she can't have any arms; we have to do make peace ourselves. And animals can't vote in most precincts.

The Goddess of Peace statement was in his campaign announcement speech <http://www.kucinich.net/announce-news.htm>:
>I am running for President of the United States to enable the
>goddess of peace to encircle within her reach all the children of
>this country and all the children of the world. And to protect our
>children from poverty and war, to hold them in the light of grace,
>and to hold them in the power of peace. I am running to challenge
>that system! We will challenge that system! We will change the
>system!
