When even Mississippi is making the move to having the Confederate flag removed from its state flag, it's likely a safe bet the Confederate flag really will disappear from state programs ... and won't just be renamed The C-Flag in the news so it can be used as much as it ever was.
Mississippi, to my limited knowledge, is the only state which has made the Confederate flag part of its history in the way others have claimed. The Confederate flag was incorporated into the state flag of Mississippi in the 19th Century and has remained there throughout. As much as I can tell, all the others resurrected it during the times of desegregation and that association, in my view, is why it dies now.
But there's much more solemn news than that as Donald Featherstone has died. Surely most of you studied his life at some point during your education as he is the man, the genius, behind the invention of pink plastic flamingos for your lawn. (CNN: Donald Featherstone, creator of flamingo lawn decor, dies)
It may not surprise you to know there were pink flamingos in my garden but maybe it will surprise you to know I did not put them there.
Take a bow, Mystery Lady!
She didn't simply put pink flamingos in the garden as she gave them the jewelry and other accoutrements a pink flamingo of high fashion really needs.
This is a solemn and a sad moment ... but ... perhaps there's a solution to ease the sadness for people in a great many ways. Rather than simply removing the Confederate flag, would it not be better to replace it with something.
Why not replace it with something with a much more intimate and long-standing association with freedom: the pink flamingo. It's a demonstrable and immediately-observable fact that the first thing to disappear in a police state will be the pink flamingos.
Were there pink flamingos in NAZI Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union, or Dick Cheney's garden?
I rest my case. The time is NOW for the Flag of the Pink Flamingo.

Maybe I could set out the 40 pink flamingos again in his honor...ML
It would be an excellent show of respect! I'm sure the neighbors would love it too. Maybe it would get like a house with Christmas lights and cars would parade through the neighborhood as they come to see the Mystery Lady's Amazing Collection of Pink Flamingos!
