At work today on a construction site, I was just there for the day, the foreman Had a big Peace sign sticker on his hard hat.
I wanted to whack it off his head with a 2x4 but instead I told him, " you know these days that "peace sign" is the equivalent of a swastika or hammer and sickle in my book, but a lot of good brave soldiers died to give you the right to wear it, that symbol has nothing to do with "peace "
Nothing wrong with secession. Secession should always be peaceful but when things are bad enough to make you want to secede, the bad guys won't let you go without a fight.
