I see Mexican citizens running the Mexican flag up the flagpole at government schools here it Houston. Not very many people seem to care. If we are talking about sovereignty then I say let's run the Stars and Bars up the flag poles of the schools. That at least would be in the American tradition.

It's odd, the passions run so deep, the war was so bloody, yet no anger, sometimes I think we were a German, Celtic people with an English culture, and that was a good thing.

I have some friends in the South who call it the "War of Northern Aggression" ... whether or not the fact the South struck first ....

I have always seen the "Civil War" as a war of states wanting to go their own way. A true civil war is one where one ideology wants to replace another running the government. Not so in the "Civil War" ... the South wanted to go its own way. So you couldn't construe that as a civil war ... or can you???
