Yes, but things aren't so peachy in in the North. Ohio isn't the 
South. LA isn't the South. And you know, master slave in the context 
of computer harddrives is offensive too!

Some of the Confederate Flag grousing is similar to swastika 
grousing. "That swastika offends me!!! "umm this is the [Finnish 
flag/buddist sign of good luck/Navaho symbol of the sun] you moron."

Some people can't look beyond their 160 year old past and move on. 
Most of it down here is grousing and BS. Not enough in my opinion to 
really split up a good thing mind you.
