Old Glory Revisited
Recently here at Harvard U. there was some controversy over some southern students flying the confederate flag in the yard, out of dorm windows... I need to find the story.
And to keep on the subject of the flag...but off at a tangent.
When I was a young teenager in the early 70's, there was a speedway tream from London called the 'White City Rebels.. They had the coolest looking team body colours.
The franchise still exists, and is located in Somerset.
I have posted on various speedway boards and fan sites, asking whether or not people underatand what this flag represents (here in the states) and whether or not it's about time that the franchise drop the logo, nickname etc. Most responses are of the get stuffed varierty. People in the UK do have a fondness for the imagery, there is some romaticsim still attached to the 'confederate rebels' and their uniforms and flag.
