"It is the people's choice - the people of the state in question not mine."

Respectfully, I sumbit choice was lost in 1864. Politicians make those choices for us, we're merely allowed to only confirm or reject those politico's. To wit, not one politician placed the removal of "Confederate Boulevard" before the people for their choice; they (the politico's) had already decided to do the deed.

I realize that. I agree. Maybe I did not make myself clear. I was referring to the right of the people of Ark (or anywhere else) to decide they wanted a street named "Confederate Blvd." regardless of my opinions regarding their...well, lets just say regardless of my opinions.

My point on the hypocrisy was that state/local officials who sanction "Confederate Blvd." when the rubes are around but then run for PC cover when Bubba and others come around, are being (no surprise) pathetic and hypocritical.
