I've been on vacation for over a week. Took the family down to Orlando, and we drove I95 south from the DC area. As is that route, we go through VA, NC, SC, Georgia, then northern FL.
On the way back Friday, we were in SC (the day they removed the Confederate Flag from the state grounds) and as we are meandering up 95 I look up at an overpass, and there sat an old geezer in a golf cart, waving that flag back and forth. I couldn't get the cellie out quick enough to capture it.
I said "Good for you" to which the family said "Huh?" and I had to explain how the flag offends me, but that I LOVE the fact that in this country you have the right (or "should" have the right) to wave it and be an idiot - that that right to Free Speech is incredibly important.
