You can't erase history. How else can we learn from our mistakes?

You can say what you want about Southern pride, but that flag is also linked to slavery, segregation, the KKK, and a belief system that purports that some people are less than.

Do I think it should be banned? No. Do I think it should fly in front of courthouses and state houses and schools? No. Do I think that the Dukes of Hazzard and corresponding merchandise should be yanked from TV and stores? Ridiculous.

Removing the flag from public spaces is probably long overdue, but that doesn't mean we should try to wipe its existence off the earth.
