And, that always kills me. Virtually every person I've met from W.Va., and that's a LOT of them because of where I grew up, considered their state to have been Confederate. I remember when I was a kid in Ohio and we had all of these W.Va yahoos running around with their Rebel paraphenalia, flags, belt buckles and what-not. I didn't understand just how odd it was until my Dad explained it to me.

That confederate Banner sure produced a lot of mixed emotions during the call to take it down form stare flagpoles.I think it was the better though.
