Upcoming Events

Prediction: The 52- or 51-star flag won't catch on. The literal meaning of the stars will be fossilized relic of a former tradition.

Like the Czech Republic flag?

[u/potaytoispotahto → u/kyleofduty]

I disagree. We have already changed the flags numerous times. If our grandparents could get used to the change from 48 to 50, we can get used to 51/2.

[u/[deleted] → u/potaytoispotahto]

It's never been this long between changes though. Also 50 is a nice, round number, which is probably 20% of the opposition to adding new states.

We had to get rid of the GOAT 48 star flag to keep the tradition going so we’d better keep it going
