Worms

Two new cans of worms have appeared. The first involves the confederate flag. This flag represents intolerance and hate to many people especially black Americans and to others it represents the historical past of the south. If states decide to remove the flag then it should be done but will it end there. Will the next move be to remove statues of Jefferson Davis the President of the Confederacy? What about Robert E Lee the famous confederate general and then on to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson who were both slave owners? The second is that today the administration announced that private families will now be allowed to pay ransom to terrorist. It has long been the policy of the government not to negotiate with terrorist but individuals will now have that option. Will this be an advantage to rich families? Will regular criminals start kidnapping and selling the victims to terrorist? Worms, worms, worms!
