well, actually a few.

Gov. Perdue stated all through his election campaign that the choice of the flag should be left up to the PEOPLE of Georgia, he didn't say anything about the ELECTED OFFICIALS making that choice for us. And as far as choice goes, no, the Stars and Bars won't even be on the list. Former Gov Barnes changed the flag without a state-wide vote and still it does not satisfy some people due to having the Stars and Bars depicted, along with the other flags that have flown over Georgia.

Will the "outlawing" of this flag be the start of changing history? I am referring to Stone Mountain Memorial Park just outside of Atlanta. Memorial Hall is a museum in the park that is filled with artifacts from the Civil War, including the Confederate Battle Flag. There has already been some problems with commemorating the fallen soldiers from this war, American Citizens.

Will the carving on the side of Stone Mountain be blasted away just because it depicts the leaders of the Confederacy?

Will I have to stop flying my Scottish flag, also a version of the St Andrew's Cross. My understanding is that Mississippi and Alabama have taken their flags down because they too are St Andrew's Cross versions.

We should ALL remember the saying, and I can't remember who said it and I'm probably paraphrasing here, "Those who don't remember history are surely doomed to repeat it".

I don't mean to ruffle anyones feathers here but I think we have more pressing problems right now that need to be dealt with first.
