This reminds me a little of the TV show “Revolutions” where there were different national territories established after the power went out across the world. It also has shades of Panem of “The Hunger Games”
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world….Jack Layton (1950-2011), former Member of the Canadian Parliament.

I support the move of the Confederate flag to a museum or perhaps to the pages of a history book. Americans of all stripes should work towards building a new heritage of inclusion, peace, love and reconciliation. As a southerner that flag does not speak for me because I live in the 21st century, not the 19th. We must all focus on building a new south where people of all races, genders, orientation and religions are free to live without fear.
