You mean they’re counting kills? :eek:

I saw one with a stick figure family, but the wife and two kids were scraped off, leaving a ghostly adhesive outline.

(He got to keep the dog, though.)

Not that I disagree with you, but…that day has already come and gone. For the children and grandchildren of Confederate Army vets, the Confederacy _was_ a romantic ideal, the “Lost Cause”. Southern schoolchildren used to memorize Lee’s Last Order, and the Kappa Alpha fraternity chapters at Southern universities held an annual “Old South Ball”, when the fratboys and their girlfriends would dress up in CSA uniforms and hoop skirts and, at Georgia, parade through the campus in horse-drawn carriages.

Looking back now, it seems like a missed opportunity for some political theater - the Black Student Association could have dressed up in rags and shackles and walked alongside, or stood outside the KA house during the ball.
