Alright...time to chime in...
The freakin' Rebel Flag has to go...
If you don't think the Rebel Flag is a symbol for racism you are blind. It wasn't intended to be originally; however, that is what it is now. I doubt the Jewish community would have allowed the swastika to remain on a flag (let's say the swastika was on a US State flag prior to WW2). The swastika wasn't originally a sign or racism, but I doubt anyone would argue that the swastika is now very anti-semitic.
[quote]Besides a flags a flag, its too bad (not saying you) but some people use it as a scape goat. [quote]
You are exactly right...it is just a flag. So, what's the big deal with changing it a little to keep up with the times?
I'm an atheist too, and I like the "In God We Trust" better than the Rebel Flag...
It pisses me off a little, because I'm a huge proponent of "Seperation of Church and State" and I personally think that crosses the line a little. But shit...what do I care I don't live in Georgia anyway.
