<div id="RTEContent">I would like to point out that the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is the foremost liberal authority on hate and discriminatory groups in the United States, does NOT list Christ Church or NSA as a hate group or discriminatory organization.

font-family: Arial;">Thanks Jim. Keep in mind that I have been around meetings, talks, etc, of <st1:City w:st="on">Wilson</st1:City>, Wilkins, and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PersonName w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Christ</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Church</st1:PlaceType></st1:PersonName></st1:place> for almost a decade. I am very glad to come away from that experience with a more balanced understanding of the civil war. The causes of the war were a bit more than slavery (like the north was not just as or more racist than the south?); the north intruded and destroyed half of my country, and that half of my country was filled with a culture far more respectable than the one I currently live in. These strange discussions about the confederate flag (which Ive never had the slightest bit of fondness for) make me sad. Im not inclined to argue for the value of displaying this defeated symbol, but I know its function w!
as not
the same as the Nazi Swastika. But thanks for the links; youd have to show me the strength of the arguments within.<o:p></o:p></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Michael Metzler<o:p></o:p></span></font></div> </div> _____________________________________________________<br> List services made available by First Step Internet, <br> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br> http://www.fsr.net <br> mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com<br>ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ<br></blockquote><br></div><p>
