What I meant by my statement was that some take a stand for what is important to them, and others don't.

You are still mischaracterizing the issue I think.

It's not at all that I'm not willing to stand up for what is important to me, it's that the 1956 flag is not that important to me, or to most people in Georgia.

I like the current flag. It honors our ancestors without the negative connotations of the Battle Flag.

I heard a man on the radio the other day who is trying to change the image of the swastika. He says it was used as a religious symbol by certain sects for centuries before it was adopted as the Nazi symbol. The CBF doesn't have negative associations for you, but unfortunately it does for many people, including possibly your next door neighbors.

Nope. Never stopped them from coming into our house, or swimming in our pool, or us eating together. 79% of registered voters in GA favour a vote on the flag, and '[a]nother interesting fact is that 16% of blacks in Georgia said they favored a new vote on the flag'
