If some major manufacturing moves out of SC, it will make them take action. Power of money!
Finally, as said before, keep your personal best regards to yourself. They are tarnished and do not show good judgement on the topic.

Dear Guest: Your attacks on me make this personal and once you cross that line you lose objectivity. Please stay with the essence of the topic and you may gain advantage.
The tragic event of 9 people killed and a picture of the Roof holding a confederate flag gave segue to opening this issue of the flag claiming it showed Roof as a race hater.
However in an Bill O'Rielly interview with a man who spoke with Roof one gets a clearer picture. According to this man his conversation caught the attention of Roof and Roof walked over to him and they had a conversation and during that conversation the man noted a gun tucked in Roof's trousers. the man said that the conversation quickly turned emotional and Roof began spouting about Hitler and Nazi's and the man quickly ended the conversation.
Its going to become clear that Roof has a mental disorder. So here is the main point of my re-telling this story. A person with a mental disorder can seize on any group and spew hatred it comes and goes. it just happen that he was focused on African=Americans at the time he was ready to take it to the next level but it could have been anyone or any group jews muslims american soldiers. So is the basis of his act was not race race per se but simply a derangement because of his cognitive confusion.
One poster point to the fact that the flag argument is a distraction and I agree not only concerning the 9 people whose lives were taken but to the bigger issue at hand which is when are we going to address the needs of the mentally ill. There is no difference from the stand point of care between a sick body and a sick mind but our nation has ignored the mentally ill because it not chic like other celebrity causes.
Again I say this is a state issue and the people of South Carolina should have the right to a referendum on the issue of the confederate flag's place.
I am a strong advocate of our U S Constitution, Bill of rights and Declaration of Independence (Three Charters of Freedom) and all we are getting here on this issue are noise and threats from organizations that want to curtail our individual freedoms. so you can continue the name calling but my focus and energies are on preservation of freedoms from organizations like the ACLU Freedom From Religion, etc. and again I end respectively with
