I believe that individuals can feel free to own, hang, wave any flag they like...even if they don't know/refuse to understand why they do it.
I agree, I just can't see how the General Lee was offending or oppressing anyone in Bubba Watson's garage. And, sure, it was rescued from a junk yard and restored and the next buyer could do that....I just think it's in poor taste for a collector to alter an item.
Replacing it with the American flag is kind of a cool idea, but you can't really mask/change what it symbolizes. If he really felt that strongly about it, he'd sell it or even destroy it.
Or maybe Bubba Watson is a genius and will put it up for sale, driving up the price with groups bidding for the right to destroy it against those who want to save it...
