Fix the economic mess ? Hell no , they have bigger fish to fry.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California state government departments will be prohibited from selling or displaying items with an image of the Confederate flag under a bill that passed the Assembly on Monday.


AB2444 by Assemblyman Isadore Hall, D-Compton, is headed to the Senate after passing on a 72-1 vote. Hall introduced the bill after his mother saw replica Confederate money being sold at the state Capitol gift shop, which no longer stocks the item.


He called the image a symbol of racism meant to intimidate.

The thing that bugs the hell out of me is, it doesn't take a ground swell of protest, pretty much if one person or small group complains, then there's a big panic to change. Christ !
Years ago Harley had a stripped down big twin, I forget the name right now, anyway it was decorated with Confederate flags, from what I read at the time ONE "African American" complained and HD stopped putting the flag decals on the bike. Like I said, Christ !
