I always loved that story.... The Emperor's New Clothes...

Count me among the peace-lovers. The Mexican flag shouldn't have been over ours, but if, say, an irish flag were hoisted under it, nobody would get all riled up.

"But there aren't Irish people sneaking across the atlantic to steal our jobs."

Not anymore, but thats the exact mentality that used to exist.

Or how about another example: The Confederate Flag. Now there's a country that no longer exists, and when that country did exist it was a bitter enemy of the Union. Now there are quite a few people that would object to that flag being flown under our flag, but not quite so many on this board. If it were raised and some dems tore it down and burned it, a whole bunch of people here would be . . . irate.

It is one I make a point of reading to the grandkids.
