Flarda flashback

Just came across this tiny little bit of Flarda's past.
I have a feeling at least one reader has seen it before. 8-}

Florida Factoid Friday

First built in 1833, relocated in 1852,

the Cape St. George Lighthouse collapsed

into the Gulf of Mexico on 22 October 2005.

Volunteers rebuilt and, again, relocated the structure.

The restored lighthouse reopened in 2008.

revisionism

Well, I let myself fall into the hole again. I try to NOT read comments on controversial posts, coz I know I'm gonna get mad, or sad, or disgusted with the human race...

I happened upon a short article about a man's fight to allow a Confederate flag on FL license plates. A couple of quotes in the article itself made me mad, sad, AND disgusted. Then I just had to read some comments. Which led to reading more comments... and more... *sigh* Seriously, I'm so tired of being maligned for something my ancestors never did. Even if they had, why should I be ostracized and called derogatory names for it? It just amazes me how hateful people can be while calling me a defeated, redneck, backwards, inbred hater.

OK, I just backspaced over a lot of 'facts', coz most of y'all already know all that. Most who don't have their minds made up and don't want to be bothered with facts, anyhow. I just wish I could take pride in my ancestors' commitment to a JUST cause without being compared to a nazi. 8-(
