If we pretend we would be as we are now, and I were transported back to the America of the "Civil War", I think you know I'd be a separatist; but I'd also be a desegregationist, so I guess I'd be in Brazil. Would not have fought for either of the pig pen sides of that war. Screw them both. I also dislike flags, as I think X said. They can burn them or worship them, as they will. If it were up to me, I would compromise with one flag, absolutely non-sacred, but representing our quasi-sacred freedoms; flown over ANY public building in this country. No flags of ANY other kind; State or "Heritage" or whatever; get the fuk off of there. Jeez. They just don't belong there. We should either fly them all, Swastika and Nature Conservancy, or one, and it's pretty obvious which one. Or else a new one. Non-public property? Who cares. Fly whatever you want. I didn't know the Confederate Flag was on top the South Carolina Capitol. It doesn't belong there. Neither does "Don't Tread On Me" or any other flag. Not one of them. Everbody could then shut up about it. Should we just fly a current map of the country? A rainbow? That would be fine with me. Absolutely fine. Something that eliminates the last arguments, by default; or whoever is left arguing gets executed. It would be called the The "This is a Public Building/Shut The Fuck Up" flag. Just my opinion, ya know. No one should have to defend or attack a flag.
