It's not our history or our heritage that needs to be shunned, but rather those that would take a symbol signifying something good and turning it into something evil. There has been mention of the German swastika..Was it not originaly a symbol used by the Native Americans? Did I not read somewhere that it signified the four seasons? No the problem is not the symbols, but all the non-thinking, sheep like morons that would follow some self serving idiot in the furtherance of his vile goals. (Adolf Hitler and Nathan Bedford Forrest, in these two cases) The way to overcome this, in my opinion, would be through education both in schools and at home. The values that I was taught are no longer widely used even today. What will it all come to fifty years from now?

Screw the history of the flag ,or of anything else for that matter, is NOT the answer!
