... we aren't allowed to fly the confederate flag any more...

Actually you are. You can fly it in your yard, hook it to your car antenna...  any display of
the "Stars and Bars" on private property is protected as a right of free speech.

What has been prohibited (in most localities of the U.S.) is the display of that symbol on public
property (with some exceptions due to its historical significance).

I don't want it displayed on my public property because it's the symbol of a movement that
supported slavery and committed acts of treason against United States of America.

Quite a few of my neighbors down here in good-old-boy Texas think differently. They got their
way for many years, now it's my turn.

Of course. And you can shoot someone in the head. Thank you for your clarification.


I'm curious if you've ever heard of the term company store and if you differientate early industrialism from slavery, or if you differientate either of those scenarios from the scores of illegal immigrants that swarm into the country by the 100s in the back of 140 degree trucks so they can work in 120 degree fields for three dollars an hour, while they are chastised as gun toting thugs so you can get your head of lettuce for 3.59?

There is no difference. We've all just decided to feel like we've done something. A couple of photoops for the politicians. Nothing more. Until it turns terminator, the world will always crave cheap labor and will create some moral excuse to obtain it. Stop pretending. Stop pretending getting rid of symbols solves problems. Action solves problems.
