Now that the Confederate Flag has been banned...I suppose that the people of color will feel safer.
I wonder why this country is trying to stir up race relations with this latest problem.
I know that very few people used to care about this symbol of the South...now it is forefront and center.
I know that the Tattoo places #1 request now is the Confederate flag...that is a permanent statement.
I know that when you tell someone that they can't do something...they will certainly do it.
There is a undercurrent of hate associated with the flag...and it is from the pale race.
I suppose that if you get all the rednecks all up in arms about a stupid flag...and violence breaks out...
I guess the next logical thing to do is take their weapons.
This smells like rotten road kill to me...another way to control people with inherent fears.
To me this seems so transparent that it is really unreal.
I don't care if they burn the Confederate flag...and all the merchandise.
Though it gives me pause that folks who love that flag are denied that right.
Believe me when I say...this ones gonna hurt for a long, long time

Michael,
I think it's about the almighty dollar more so than artist integrity too. People hide a lot behind convenient wording.
I don't think I have anything intelligent to add this morning. My brain is tired. My mama got released from the hospital day before yesterday. Yesterday the doctor told the nursing home to send her to the hospital ER in an ambulance. They put her in ICU. Hopefully today her blood pressure will be above 80 over 31.
Please keep my mama in your prayers.

Michael,
Perfect video choice.
My prayers will continue to be with the loved ones of the people in the church who lost their lives.
I don't understand the hate mongering that other people are doing in their names because it's not how they are expressing themselves and not who they were as people. That's probably the biggest travesty of all in this.
The shooter was obviously nuts but his goal was to start a race war. Why would anyone give him what he wants? After what he did.
I guess the answer to that question is that there have been people out there, all along, who wanted a race war (though they may call it by different words) and they see this as their opportunity to capitalize on a horrendous act.

Mamas are the heart and soul of humanity...nothing else matters.

My prayers also for the folks in the church shooting.
They set the example for people with integrity...such loving people.
It is just that all of a sudden these changes are being made...overnight.
Was this incident planned...is it just a piece of the bigger picture...to totally control our rights?

The next words were not prepared 6 months ago...they are thought up right now.
As I speak I am demonstrating my first amendment right.
But actually I haven't said a word...I have only thought and then typed it down.
It was only a thought...the very basic first element of the first right of the people.
Since I am considered a person (by some)...I have the right to my own thoughts...no matter...what.
I have the right to think what I want and say what I might.
That said...
I really have nothing to say at all about the situation with the confederate flag...
White leaders of the NAACP...same sex marriage...transgender operations...botox...
all of these things that demand my attention...I refuse to no longer think of them.
I my friends and dear readers... have developed a no control zone.
You may say anything that is on your mind...total non judgement here.
This read...
this may seem nonsensical to you ...but that is what is on my mind...
I am exercising my first amendment rights by not using them.
Go ahead and do what you are going to do...whatever it may be...as long as it doesn't hurt.
There is no right to not offend people...it is just a kind gesture to not... due to love.
I bet that the folks of color could care less about the confederate flag...
All ready...
My choice...burn your flags...melt down your idols.
There is more things to spend your time on...which reminds me.
I need to finish cutting the grass and prepping for the weekend.
I have like 10 days off in a row...1st 4th in 13 years...ha.
Time to break out another great tune...and just be glad that I am free!

I'm in exactly the same place today Michael. Too much pain all around us. No way to turn that doesn't hurt someone.
Adding in Lacy J's self-described healing song...
Thanks for the mama hugs.

Jo...some people are deserving of a vacation....apparently...I am not.
Yesterday ...just as I was tiding up some things...and putting up my tools...getting ready for vacation.
It rained...it rained hard...very hard for only a couple of hours.
We flooded again...this time another bad one.
Here is a photo of our front yard looking South...the river you see is the highway.

Now... I am up on the first day of my vacation with a whole lot of work ahead of me.
My propane tank is about a quarter mile away...and oh...it's just a mess.
This flood washed out our pet cemetery...I never wanted to see dear Tiffy this way.
I haven't told my wife as she is stressed enough...she is plain tore up.
In the middle of the flood she began having chest pains...now what?
I can't believe what I said next...I said lets go take a nap...
I was really hoping that maybe someway...I could have woke up and that this would have all been a dream.
Unfortunately...it is not.

Aw...where to start...I guess right here...to kinda document.
When the water goes down the worries go up.
Imagine all your tools...one thing that I love...covered with water.
The A.C. Condenser...the vehicles...the fish...yes the fish.
Ha hahahaha...I laugh when I am sad...have I told you that...I guess it is only you Jo...and Jeff.
That is good enough for me...you are family.
BTW...some of the remarks on FB from family and friends was build an Ark...I have a mop...holy moly.
Pretty funny stuff...it is amusing to watch someone else in turmoil...and pain.
All I could do in reply was post a video...maybe validate to themselves that I am just a hick.
If folks would like to bring me a mop with plans on how to build an ark...I would appreciate it.
