[QUOTE=vi
I find it very unfortunate that a few have taken an historic flag and associated it with hate, bigotry, etc. I have no idea what the best solution.

Please do not shoot the messenger, these are just my humble thoughts.[/QUOTE]


The flag is about Southern States fighting for the right to own human beings as slaves. How is this not haterd and bigotry, it's not about rebel pride or freedom of expression, it's about a time when NO man was created equal and thousands died for such a ridiculous notion.

If Marion county can fly the Rebel Flag, I want to start a recall petition to stop this insanity.
