    I submit that banning the Confederate flag because of what some people have come to think that it means would be a disaster in the making. Where would it stop after that? How about we ban Hooters resteraunts and t-shirts. In a recent debate with friends, someone told me that one group of people had come to view Hooters t-shirts as a degrading symbol against women. Do we ban all Hooters t-shirts and close all of the resteraunts because some people think it is a degrading symbol? I certainly hope not. They have good chicken wings! And as for the Confederate flag, I certainly don't think we should ban it. It has a history, and a people's memories, behind it. Take away our heritage, and you take away our freedom.
