Your personal epithet really makes us want to do what you say. Buzz off fly.

It is none of your damn business, Arkansaw. I have had family in Georgia for the better part of 200 years, under many flags. My great-great-grandfathers sword from the Civil War is leaning against the wall in my living room. If anyone has any skin in this issue, it should be me.

But this entire mess is a losing proposition that started with bad decisions by the legislature in 1956, when, by the way, there was no 'vote' to change it. It was handled badly by the Barnes gang. It will never be resolved to the satisfaction of everyone, no matter what is tried, including a public vote. It is a losing issue, and it is a total distraction for more pragmatic matters. The 'flaggots" (a Neal Boortz expression) have been as manipulative as the NAACP, and neither of them are representing my state as far as I am concerned.

This flag is a great compromise, and I would wish that we could all just declare victory and move the hell on.

Probably would have happened after the two stage vote. Now it ain't. Whose fault is that? Its not us "flaggots" this time.
