Tuesday letters: Imagine what SC could accomplish if we put this much energy into other matters

Take the flag down, bulldoze the monuments, and all will be right with our world. College will suddenly become affordable, the Corridor of Shame will disappear, teen pregnancy will disappear, single-parent families will be no more, gun violence and illegal drugs and drug addiction will be eradicated, domestic violence will be non-existent, well-paying jobs will be there for the taking, the hungry and the homeless will have food and shelter of their choosing, our roads and bridges will become like new, and Republicans and Democrats will live in peace and harmony for ever and ever, amen.

Our world is broken on so many more fronts than just the Confederate flag. Imagine what we could do if we all put equal or greater effort into righting our world as we have put into the flag.

By the way, I support taking it down.
