I know all about it being used as a battle flag during the Civil War. Let me say again, I think state pride and southern (or regional) pride is a good thing, but carrying a symbol used by traitors is another. I won't say anything more on the subject since I don't want to threadjack anymore than I already have...
edit: Reviewing my reasoning shows me to be pretty inconsistent on my views on the two symbols. So sue me, I'm human
