Ted,
	My twist on the name of the National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People (NAACP) was intended to satirize their current actions in
fighting a battle that is IMHO long since over.  My ancestors paid in blood
to suppress the Confederacy's perversion of the American dream and I am
willing to allow the descendants of the Confederates to fly the Stars & Bars
and/or the Battle Jack in a HISTORICAL setting.  I am confident in victory
and don't see a need to grind the faces of the descendants of the
Confederates who have been Americans for many years now.  The fact that the
NAACP is spending its time boycotting South Carolina because the former flag
isn't FAR ENOUGH from the Statehouse rather than boycotting bad schools or
bad politicians strikes me as a tragedy for all Americans but especially for
those they claim to be advancing.
	Racist?  That word meant something once, but in recent years, it's
been so widely misapplied that it's come to mean almost the exact oppositte.
	Ignorant?  In answer to Erica's question, the real Equal Rights
Amendments are the 14th and 19th.

I sincerely hope this was not intended to sound as ignorant and racist as it
does.
