No flaming here. I’ve evolved on this subject myself. The Confederacy ceased existence 150 years ago, but some people just can’t seem to want to let it go.
Funny, the Constitution is even older than that, and Magna Carta 585 years older still (more or less), and just look how all those silly people refuse to accept modern "organic", "living" government, totalism, and despotism -- the spirit of the modern age, from the Paris Commune to the Third Reich to the neo-Soviet state of Vladimir Putin.
Come ON, people, get a modern grip on things! You'll feel ssoooo much better when you just ...... "let go."
