It is interesting to compare the American policy on Confederate flags
with the German policy on Nazi flags.  In the U.S., public and private
displays of Confederate flags are almost always unconditionally legal.
Controversy in the U.S. mainly surrounds official government-sanctioned
use of the flag.  But in Germany, display of a Nazi flag is punishable by
a heavy fine, and the police respond promptly to any report of a Nazi
flag on display.

Please recall, Ron, that Germany does not regard freedom in the same way
America does.
