    So, I'm wondering if this whole "pulling the Confederate flag from sale" thing was really thought through or not. Because, I mean, not to get into the whole semantics of the fucking rag or anything, but...the ones who are making these calls (IE the honchos at Wal-Mart, Sears, Apple, etc.) DO know that by making this flag, and the colors and symbols associated with it so...TABOO....all they're doing is making it more desirable for the people who want to be seen as rebelling against authority, yeah?

    But that's not what I'm talking about; I'm talking about people, private citizens, going out and buying merchandise that has this flag, logo, and/or colors on it and wearing it in public. That's a totally different issue than flying it high above the statehouse at the Capitol. By restricting it, you're only making it MORE desirable to rebellious people, and you're going to end up making it MORE popular than if you had just quietly reduced stock in it, or done nothing at all.
