A must-read, every word, imo.

"Nearly all of South Carolina was in mourning Thursday. Flags were at half-mast. Except the Confederate flag, of course, which flew high outside the building where Tillman still stands and the laws of the state are written."

The last paragraph sums it up, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose", the more it changes, the more it is the same thing.

Thank you for posting this.
