great post bhallg. i didnt even know about the flag flying after integration. Personally, I think we all take our freedoms for granted. Just because the Constitution states that we can run around and say and worship and demonstrate as we please doesnt give us the right to shove it down the throats of others. That in turn breeds a bigger rally to supress it based on the rights of you being able to protest what you want as well. I don't care if redneck 34 IQ assholes fly their flags all over the place and hold demonstrations talking about "them there nappy headed big nose breathin' black sonsabitches." i've heard enough of that shit to last a lifetime. But when you use state property or tax payer's money to sponsor that ignorance then you've got me all over your ass like Bush in a cocaine field.
