The Confederate FlagUntil recently, I had never liked Hillary Clinton. I thought that she was terribly weak and self-serving most of the time, and I despised her for letting Bill walk all over her. I never thought that I'd say I was in agreement with her, but lately there is much to applaud her for!......more

I see this flag displayed every day. In Atlanta suburbs. In Georgia. If its public display represented some cultural or historical significance, it would be more acceptable. It is not. It is flown by racists - exclusively. Ugghh..
There are some very few, very decent people I know who fly it for honor of family killed in this war. I have to believe them because they are persons
of integrity. Most of them keep it hung respectfully inside, fully cognizant of the feelings it evokes in others. Then there are those who stole it as a symbol of their hate. There are those who are trying to pretend the nazi symbol doesn't mean nazi anymore. Keeping an eye on manga for this reason. Think what you will; I recently had a blazing argument with a young friend about the nazi symbol and he was truly of the opinion that it was okay because he saw it tattoed on the arm of a 'real nice guy' and had read in manga that it was NOT necessarily nazi. Luckily, not much longer after that he saw this same 'nice guy' again and noticed that he had HATE tattoed on his knuckles in bold black. hmmmm. It's the young people that have to be taught. I always advocate freedom first but am happy that someone who loves that flag enough to fly it loves others enough not to hurt them with it publicly. I feel it has no place in public, but if one loves it, that is one's business. I think many people are currently wearing nazi uniforms in private ... which is another subject entirely. (sorta ... not really)
good day today, stogie. lots and lots of cool stuff...
