Please do not accuse me of attacking the south. I love the south, the food, the scenery, the people. I vacation in the south. I am sure there are many things southerners can proud and could display as a symbol for the area they love. I just cannot understand why anyone would support and defend a symbol that stood for oppression and is distasteful to a large number of Americans today who feel it is a racist symbol. Please tell me the justification for displaying this flag.

That is my position also. I'm glad that we here at the Forum can freely express our opinions- which was the issue that I mentioned when I retold the incident at the antique store. As it used to be said: "To each his own."
