We might have had this poll before, but it seems to be lost to the ether. 

So which do you like. I like the star pattern on the first, but I feel there's not enough blue. On the other hand choice two is boring.

A


B
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Don't you have maps of the Caribbean to draw with Ottomans taking over the Dominican Republic or something?

A is best. Would really help me to feel like I live in the future.

B will be chosen.

How do you know, we've had some funky flag designs in the best.

I especially like the 26 star flag

People today have warped ideas about the importance of traditions (which may or may not actually be traditions) and don't like change in this sort of thing.
Also a 51 star flag would be a lot more potentially permanent than any of the earlier pre 20th century designs were seen as being.

Which state is the center star?  :hmm:

California of course.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

This one has always been my favorite:



Always reminds me of Space Invaders.

Why, your state of course. ;)

I'm sure it was meant to not be representative of any particular state. However, Michigan was state 26, so maybe people thought of it as that.

Shouldn't the stars form a likeness of Obama?  :showoff:

A state of housekeepers and thieves doesn't deserve a star.

What's wrong with B? Very traditional and conservative.

How about this one?

Expand blue on flag A, it would be perfect.

I prefer a nice even 50.  I like Puerto Ricans but I see no upside to them becoming a state.
