Subject: RE: BS: time to change US flag From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 22 Apr 21 - 11:53 AM Plenty of room to adjust the presnt design to allow for a few additional states.And you'd need sharp eyes to any difference from the present ones. I'd think that in a country where the role of government is to oblige capitalist enterprises the fact that an extra state or would mean millions of flags needing to be replaced would be likely to make it more likely that that would happen. After all most of those flags would be privately owned. It'd be fun if they put in a few more colours. After all red white and blue is a combination shared by any number of countries - the UK, France, Russia, Cuba, just for a start. Perhaps go for rainbow stripes... |

I've wondered about that myself, but will never let the change of a pattern and the job security for flag makers producing millions of the new flags be a reason to NOT add a new state. It's way past time. (It would be interesting to see if they could confine the flag production to the US - probably not - China has cornered the market on this kind of thing for decades.) |
Subject: BS: time to change US flag From: Donuel Date: 22 Apr 21 - 10:37 AM When we get a new state it gets a star on our flag. Where is it going to go? Inside another star below all the other stars? 5 rows of five stars with 1 above and below? With more people than North Dakota or Vermont, DC is favored to finally be a state after hundreds of years. |
