It was only shortly after we moved to SC that they took it off the state capitol building up in Columbia.

Like I said before, there's no reason to not celebrate history, but I don't get why we have to divide so much. Can't Georgia just have a Georgia History month? I actually wouldn't have a problem with that at all.

Because if Georgia had a Georgia History month, wouldn't the slave owning years have to be included?  All the Civil War stuff?  From a Southern point?  Jesse Jackson would be down here faster than you can say Simon Legree.  Unfortunately, people tend to focus on 1861-1865 and forget all the rest of Georgia history.

It's not an issue that is going to be easily solveable.  I'm am very concerned that things are going to be totally mired in the whole black/white crap.

I had Foster's once. It wasn't that good from what I remember. Maybe I should try it again?

According to someone Vengeance knows from Australia, Australians hate Foster's to the point they avoid it like the plague. So I guess it isn't Australian for beer if the Aussies don't even like it.
