I do want the old flag back, but if it's voted on...

And that's as it should be. Settle the whole question through a binding, popular referendum. If the pro-flag forces win then so be it. If the anti-flag forces win then so be it. Let the loser take it like a man and shut up about it. But it looks like you might not even get the chance to do that.

This is new N.S., I actually agree with you for a change. The Confederate flag brings out the best and the worst in people on both sides, I for one have never ever tried to hurt anyones feelings using as a racist symbol. To me it's alway's just been a proud Southern symbol, not anti black or anti Yankee just something to celebrate our heritage. I really hate the fact that some groups have abused the flag & the people that they discriminated against. I guess the only fair way is to vote on it and just like you said they'll probably weasel out even on that. But one thing about it, if we did get to vote on it, it would end a lot of the fussing on both sides.
