>I didn't know there was a way to take racist jokes lightly. Should I have started laughing when I was told the joke? Yeah, probably, if it really was a joke. You can usually tell whether or not someone's really trying to make a joke or is just being plain mean-spirited. Yo! YAO! Yo! No, YAO! :) -Z

Ted, <I am not sure why you are defending the South but I really question the need for a confederate flag on public or private bldgs.> Like I said, I'm not a fan of the Deep South, nor do I see the Confederate Flag as anything more than an anachronism. Surely they can put that away in a history museum or whatever, then leave the heritage to movies like Gods and Generals (or a campy TV series like "The Dukes of Hazzard"). But I'm not going overboard with my views, nor am I jumping to the conclusion that the Confederate Flag is the mark of the devil itself. I understand why Southerners want to keep flying the flag, and it doesn't have anything to do with the return of Jim Crow or slavery. And frankly, understanding this is a lot more important to me than satisfying a bunch of Thought Police hypocrites who preach open-mindedness but practice otherwise. Tenchusatsu
