You just likened Jayhawks to the Nazis, meaning you've compared a group fighting AGAINST slavery to a group that executed millions and millions of innocent people in the Holocaust.

Really? I don't care if this is unpopular on this site, but the whole "Civil War" argument in this stupid license plate debate is ridiculous. I don't want a bunch of KU license plates either, but that's because I hate that school. Not because of some fabricated argument dating back to the Civil War and Bleeding Kansas, an incident WE were the bad guys in.

All these politicians just want to score points with their constituents by fighting against Kansas. That's fine with me, but let's not pretend there's some honorable reason for all of this.
