I was working on this for Smoke & Mirrors but my better half thought the cannon shot was better. Comments and criticism welcome.

I'd like to believe that many people who fly this flag have good intentions. I am a native of the south myself and have been known to favor the expression, :The War of Northern Aggression" on occasion. I'm proud though to live in a state where this measure was overwhelmingly rejected.

I'd like to believe that many people who fly this flag have good intentions. I am a native of the south myself and have been known to favor the expression, :The War of Northern Aggression" on occasion. I'm proud though to live in a state where this measure was overwhelmingly rejected. 

Two notable quotes from the commissioner/deputy who proposed it:
1) “It ain’t got anything to do with race or anything like that,”
2)“I've been wanting to do that ever since the shooting in South Carolina,” James "Buddy" Randolph Greene County, TN

I'd like to believe that first quote. I just can't quite get there.
