Didn't know how to post picture. Maybe one of you cyber geniuses can.

You do realize that the current unvoted on GA Flag may violate Federal law or regulation by having the U.S. American flag in it as a sub-set symbol in it.

So? Im from Ohio! Only pennet shaped flag in the union! Whoo hoo! Not only do we have an odd ball goofy governer, we also have an odd ball flag!

[Paul C. Jesup]

OUCH!!

I'll support changing your flag, if you support changing mine.

[Lazamataz]

I have no opinion about this issue.

[doodad]

That's the current flag that was changed without a vote and designed by the Six Flags company as best I can tell. The new one looks like the pre-1956 flag. Do a search there was a thread recently.

Sen. Peg Blitch (D-Homerville)

Yikes! What a terrible name to have for a female Democrat politician!

[Illbay]

You know, that doesn't really look like a "flag," so much as it does a poster that's part of a fifth grader's history fair project!

[HELLRAISER II]

Bring back the battle flag!

[Illbay]

The old one was changed without a popular vote, too.

In those days the thought that there should be a referendum or plebescite would have been humorous.

[HELLRAISER II]

Homerville is about an hour away, it's not much of a town but it's got one hell of a speed trap. You speed in Homerville, you come home with a ticket.

[Illbay]

Actually, I was talking about her surname, "Blitch."

[HELLRAISER II]

I know, I was just telling you about the city that Blitch was from to give you a little insight on her personality.

[sierkahn]

Sure Hellraiser II bring on the battle flag and we will have another boycot on our hands. They should go back to the pre 1956 flag and stop messing around with it. I was a citizen, born and raised in Georgia until 1985 when I moved to South Carolina. We have had our problems with the battle flag here and our State government caved in and movet it to the Confederate monument. Now the ACLU and the NAACP want to move it agin. Come on all ready. Get a life, please! We are talking about history, yours, mine and their's. Go complain about something that means something to everyone. maybe the price of gas and oil. That would be a good one to work on.

EVERYTHING violates Federal Law or regulation!

[Savage Beast]

It looks like the placemat in a fast food restaurant. Does it come in plastic?

[smith288]

Look at the image title.

[Paul C. Jesup]

You missed my point.
