In this case, peace won.
Marisa Crockett speaks to an Albuquerque
Police Department officer at UNM about her free hugs project to travel
across the United States in her bio-fueled car, offering hugs and
hoping to get the word out about her recycling program. The officer was
responding to a complaint, but momentarily left after a few friendly
words, Tuesday, October 2, 2007.

I swear, it's so hard to tell sometimes what's sincere and what's parody.
About one in 10 Americans have stopped hugging and kissing close friends or relatives because of concerns about swine flu, according to a survey released Friday. About the same number have stopped shaking hands.
It's nice to see this come around again; there really isn't anything new. I remember reading several years ago about a middle-aged man who made news by offering hugs to everybody who would accept them: bus drivers, passers-by, etc.
Hugs are good. Let's all have more of them. I hear that they often lead to smiles, and those are good, too.
Gotta go; my wife needs a hug!
