... well, this made me laugh. Now that the entire U.S. of A has been all gay-rainbowed up, does anybody believe that the campiest-yet-brilliantly-filmed movie in the "historical era genre" would be banned? Teh Gheyz love this movie and with good reason, and Hollywood does too - I have the soundtracks, the deluxe VHS edition, and the most recent Deluxe DVD box set. Also too the Franklin Mint Porcelain Doll of Scarlett in her green velvet drapes ensemble... I mean, c'mon, after seeing Carol Burnett's hysterical spoof of the scene, how could I not?

... yes, and I'd like to be just as inspiring in fighting the many obstacles to a truly enlightened society here in our country, but alas I can't afford bail once I'm arrested and I can't afford the fine if they decide I'm guilty of something (which they will). But yeah, I will cheer from the sidelines with all my might for those who actually walk the talk.

They used both excuses...and the big one: the confedsymps use the rag of traitors as a way around the Flag Code-since that rag was never actually a flag they don't have to follow the Flag Code when they fly it...such as the requirement of flying the US flag in an equal or superior position. Assholes.

It's a clusterfuck best visited right now and always...the price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.

idk, I am with you on the park things, but memorials to dead people we oughta leave be. That actually is all about heritage and dead ancestors and whatever else, as opposed to a bit of a rag that represented the portion of the army of an enemy country.
