I find myself asking again, isn't one of your ideals here the gracious Old South, where the races lived in harmony--only, one of them did most of the heavy lifting, and didn't get to share your public biffies? We never did straighten out that question--it's difficult for me to see the Artists Formerly Known as the Confederate States of America as exemplars of civil liberty, unless we expand the meaning of the term to include the freedom to own a sufficiently swarthy human being. Can you reconcile? cordially, "Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist."
Post #100,074 by deSitter 5/3/03 1:12:42 AM Reply	Can I reconcile? Do I have to? I'm fighting for the same thing they fought for - the right to self-determination. "When in the course.." etc. It's really a beautiful flag: [image\|http://americancivilwar.com/south/conflag/confed3.gif\|\|\|\|] Those carpetbaggers are not US. Don't forget that. In the country that lives under that flag, everyone is FREE and that's a guarantee. -drl
Post #100,149 by rcareaga 5/3/03 7:43:09 PM Reply	help me out here? In the country that lives under that flag, everyone is FREE and that's a guarantee. Everyone? Hardly. Perhaps those who fought for "the right to self-determination" lived free. The last time that flag flew over a soverign nation "their" right to self-determination included their right to buy and sell slaves; their descendants' interpretation of that right has included, in living memory, segegated commercial establishments, schools, drinking fountains and toilets. Yes, you have to do some reconciling if you're to attract others to St. Andrew's cross. What, exactly, am I signing up for if I stand beside you as you raise that handsome flag? cordially, "Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist."

We had a rather long conversation and I realized she was working for ideals, not to be yassa'd into the past. I would think DeSit is along the same lines, unless of course you get him on the subject of HB1's thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] questions, help?
