    You know, I don't recall any racist leanings in the Dukes of Hazard, but I guess maybe their anarchy beliefs included slavery as well. Or maybe people should stop trying to pre-judge other's positions based on a flag they fly.

    To add to what I posted; I believe this literally means wearing a flag, not flag patterned fabric.

    It however is against the Flag code, but is not enforced:

    The flag should not be used as "wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery", or for covering a speaker's desk, draping a platform, or for any decoration in general (exception for coffins). Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.[7]

    from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    It is most definitely not illegal though, just considered highly disrespectful to those knowledgeable.

    Not to argue most of what you are saying, but Maryland was only in the Union because its capital was held by the army. If Maryland had seceded as well, the war would have been pretty short.

    Yes, what you write is nonsense. You come across as someone with a mental disorder, possibly related to stalking. You imagine that people care about hosts files just like you do, and you post anonymously so that no one can use your own techniques of bashing people with posts until they concede.

    What you fail to realize is that most companies do not work that way. When a company is giving you 0%-3% raises every year but saying you are doing excellent, after a few years it is time to move on.

    Companies do not take care of employees on average, it is hard to find companies that do.

    So, because the local government forced them to sell the land, and the dept of education didn't actually bother to read the deed to the land, then built on the land causing the breach of the containment structure, it is all the chemical companies fault? That is absurd.

    From that Wikipedia entry:

    The Niagara Falls City School District needed land to build new schools, and attempted to purchase the property from Hooker Chemical that had been used to bury toxic waste. The corporation initially refused to sell citing safety concerns; however, the school district refused to relent.[1] Eventually, faced with parts of the property being condemned and/or expropriated, Hooker Chemical agreed to sell on the condition that the School Board buy the entire property for one dollar.

    To be certain that the School Board knew what it was getting by taking the Canal, Hooker escorted School Board members to the Canal site and made test borings in front of them. On its own initiative and at its own expense Hooker Chemical thus ensured that the School Board had directly witnessed the danger which would later be proclaimed in the deed which the School Board would sign. Hooker Chemical thus also ensured that the School Board understood the singular unsuitability of the land for the uses the School Board planned to make of it. However the School Board already had a plan, and would not change it.

    So this was a failure in the school board. They were warned that this spot was an awful spot to build a school. Now, I don't know much about how dumps work, but it sounds like they were doing the proper preventative stuff of the time, it was the school board that refused to listen here.

    If you read more of the story than the title, you will find that many states are banning the flag or removing it from state property. This is destruction of history. The confederate battle flag has very little to do with slavery, and many who fly it are doing so to honor ancestors who died fighting for states rights. But lets get rid of the confederate battle flag because it might hurt someone's feelings because they don't know history and feel that it only has to do with slavery.
