The Mississippi State Flag has become a subject of controversy (as many other flags have), and the good people of this state will be voting soon to replace or keep it.

The flag has the "Stars and Bars" in its corner, which is the problem. It is said to be a symbol of hatred.

I personally do not think hateful, nor bigoted thoughts whenever I view the flag. I see it as a symbol of a state which has struggled with its own past and has overcome much of its erroneous attitudes.

I vote to keep the flag.

I realize that almost every 'Catter is from elsewhere, therefore this is of little interest and impact to you.

Nonetheless, I would like to hear what my 'Catting Friends have to say.

Thanks,
