RE: Erasing history
Given the lack of support this guy's petition has gathered, I think it's really much-ado-about nothing. As a person on another board said, when the Georgia legislature passes a bill out of committee to remove it, then one can begin a discussion.

Also, while I find comparisons to Nazi's over the top (and I don't think Rich was comparing Confederates to Nazis) let's not forget that the leaders of the Confederacy were fighting to keep one race permanently enslaved. The symbols of the Confederacy have different meanings to different people, some of which aren't that altruistic.
