Writing: Disposing of The Confederacy

 

I love great writing, like the phrase below in a Washington -Post story about what to do with confederate monuments removed from the public square:

 

 "...nothing’s simple in this re-tilling of the soil of a nation."

 

                                                                                                              From an article in The Washington Post by Senior Editor Mark Fisher 

 

     Of course we don't have that problem here in the formerly Confederate State of Alabama.   

    Republican Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill protecting all things confederate in perpetuity, and Republican Attorney General Steve Marshall will enforce it.

     The fine is $25k, so the city of Montgomery---a Democratic blue dot in this bright red state---will have to pay for violations like changing the names of three High Schools and Jefferson Davis Avenue. That's $100,000 for starters.

     No free re-tilling of this soil!
