Florida is preparing for another battle over this proposed license plate. As usual, the lines are drawn over whether or not the confederate flag represents slavery/racism/bigotry/etc. or state pride and heritage.
Personally, this is a non-issue. Find another image for the license plate. Have we not learned any lessons from South Carolina? The flag, regardless of its original meaning, has been used as a symbol of white supremacy for so long in this country's history that it is beyond redemption.

yeah, and some people still claim that florida ain't really the south. bullshit. that is all a matter of perspective, i suppose. regardless of how many people from new york and new jersey relocate to florida, it will always retain its southern flavor. unfortunately, the "flavor" in reference needs to die.
you need to update your blog, ael.
