Flag Chatter

Various groups have jumped on the Mississippi 'wagon' in recent days and said that they need to dissolve their Confederate-looking flag, and replace it.  There is some history to this....around 20 years ago, they actually had a state vote, and confirmed the flag.  By the way the wording was done on this vote.....it's awful hard to bring this topic up again.

So this 'woke-nature' of things is causing a problem.  I sat and pondered upon it....wanting to help the poor people of Mississippi.  So this is my solution.

There is no law saying you can only have one single flag.  So you could go and have seven flags, if you desired. 

First, I would create a SEC football flag, with a fine hunting dog stitched into a red background....lifting his leg slightly and peeing on this tree stump that has the letters SEC on it.  It would send a message, and also be acceptable to the anti-confederacy flag folks.

Second, I would create the same type of flag as the SEC flag, for the NCAA.....just with NCAA on the tree stump, and the dog peeing on that stump as well.

Third, I would create the same type of flag as the SEC flag, for California.....just with California etched on the tree stump, and the dog peeing on that stump.

Fourth, I would have a state-wide contest yearly for students to create other 'acceptable' flags, and hand out 1,000 dollar scholarships to the dozen-odd winners. 

Then I'd let everyone know that they can have their cake and eat it too.....Mississippi would comply with everyone, in a special way, and flags would be created for all occasions. 

I should note here....before 1861, they had NO flag.  They existed from 1817 to 1861, with NO flag.  Why?  I think they had better things to do, and flags didn't seem that urgent.  Some folks would suggest they were too busy hunting and fishing....to waste time on flags.

This current flag?  It's been around since 1894 (126 years).
