well well well...things are heating up

Incase you haven't heard, there is a huge confederate flag set to go up in Tampa, FL.

And who else would be a co-conspirator other than the dutiful father?

I will say a few things on it. There has been a lot of controversy about it being a racist symbol. Personally I do no think it is, or that it is intended to be racist. If we can honor americans dead in the vietnam war, a war dispised by half the country, then why can we Not honor the confederate dead? Honoring your ancestors is not racism. If that were the case then whites would not be able to honor any dead and only minorities could have war memorials.

I say leave 'em the hell alone. We got tons of lawyers jumping on us to take the case anyway.

And besides, do your history work (although most of it is biased). The Civil War was 1)not a civil war, the confederates had all ready left the union and 2)it wasn't about slavery, it was about rights. Otherwise, how the hell can you explain the sheer amount of blacks that fought for confederates.

Show me a handful of blacks who detest the flag, and I'll show you 20 more handfuls of those who love it.



In other news, we're going to go look at a car tonight. I might get to test drive it this weekend, but I'm trying not to rush things. I had to sell some shares or whatever, so it'll still be awhile before I get the money.

Its a nice car though. A 2005 Dodge Neon SXT Sedan. Only 63 hundred. But dad wants lower, so I'm not really sure what we're gonna do.

All packed up for Auburn. One of my movies was missing, Princess Mononoke. Dad got it through Amazon for me. He also got me 12 ink cartrages (no, I can't spell to save my life), a wi-fi thing for the house and a 9x12 tablet. I knew I'd win him over, eventually.

Well, that's all for now. Hope everything is going well for people. Catch you later.
