I watched a short PBS clip last night on how Stone Mountain in Georgia came about, and how they have a law that states it can never be removed/altered in any way. It was conceived and erected as a tribute to the KKK. I've never been there, but when I lived in the South I worked with a woman who would get absolutely beside herself with how touching and beautiful a visit to Stone Mountain made her feel. She kept urging me to go (I used to have to go to Georgia on business quite often), and even back then (late 80's - early 90's) I thought, no way in hell would I go there.

This is what frightens me the most. There are plenty of people in our country who would love to have white nationalism rule.
