[Link](http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/georgia-caves-to-neo-confederate-group-and-will-again-issue-confederate-flag-license-plates/comments/#disqus) After a dog and pony show of “We’re not really racists, honest!” platitudes, Georgia has openly sided with the scum of humanity and will re-issue license plates bearing the flag of traitors. What next, Georgia? The Rising Sun? We fought a war with them, too. That’s it. Time to boycott anything from Georgia, including peaches. Let them rot. ---

This is more pit-worthy, so off it goes. ---

As Tim Pilgrim a leader of the Sons Of Confederate Veterans leader puts it: > [@](#): > > “We did agree to remove the faded background as most of the Camps indicated that they would be willing to do as long as the SCV logo was in its place of prominence on the tag. They also agreed to let us darken the red in the logo to a deeper blood red. We hope to have that completed by the end of this week and our tag will start to be available to our membership and the citizens of Georgia by next week.” _Blood_ red? No implied message there, right? ---

See, by the time here in Northern Ohio we get “Southern” peaches, they were picked too unripe so they would travel, then they ripen poorly and taste pithy. We get our best peaches from West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Just as good as getting fresh ones from GA/SC. As far as good peaches coming from FL or CA, just say NO. ---

Please don’t buy peaches from CA. Maybe that industry will die and then they’ll move to a state that actually gets rain. Then the water they use can go to people and help with the water shortage and then maybe people will start taking showers more than once a month like Brown is trying to make us do. ---

If you’d eaten a fresh CA or FL peach picked a couple days ago off a local tree you wouldn’t say that. If you get peaches from either state shipped to wherever \*\*LHoD \*\*lives or to Akron then I can certainly understand why you think they suck. Peaches just don’t travel well. Nor store all that well. ---

Best peaches I ever ate were picked off trees in my childhood back yards. ---

Can we here in the Atlanta metro area get a release from this pitting? I mean we got some flag waving asshats here, but not near the numbers in the rest of the state. A very common expression here is "There is Atlanta, and then there is the _rest_ of the state. Oddly enough I have never seen an actual peach tree in GA. Plenty in SC though. ---

> [@leftfield6](#): > > Can we here in the Atlanta metro area get a release from this pitting? I mean we got some flag waving asshats here, but not near the numbers in the rest of the state. You are correct in terms of percentages, but thanks to population density we can rest assured that there is no shortage of racist-redneck-flag-waving asshats in metro Atlanta. ---
