I found this sticker among some old stuff the other day. Naturally, the question came up for me: go with this design, or keep the one we have?

What do you think?

The flying saucers are cool, but let’s stay with the one we have.
I see from your avatar that youre ok with some kind of mutated flag design. Its not such a big leap to the flying saucer one.

Is that the US flag eating the Confederate battle flag? If so, it's a great reminder of the triumph over slavery and oppression of people of color.

It appears that it is being eaten. And it has 57 stars so the Obama crowd can fully support it.

There is a house a few blocks from me that used to fly this flag, along with the Confederate flag and a few others. Fortunately, some were destroyed in a heavy windstorm (heavenly karma!) and he replaced them with American flags. But if he flew it beside the Confederate flag, I figured it must not be good..and I looked it up.

"A sign of American independence and assertiveness."
In present day, the Gadsden Flag is iconic in its symbolism as a rallying cry for Libertarianism and individual liberty, as far as the modern mainstream political discourse will allow it to be.

Words like "anarchy" and "anti-government" were also mentioned.

Of course in combination with the Confederate flag it was doubly offensive.

Supporters of all of the above brought us Trump, and since he will be on his way out, there is little chance that this renegade flag will be considered.

what is this i dont even
Thats what I thought when I dug this thing up. But honestly, the flying saucers represent just the sort of wildcard optimism we need in the face of current events and trends.

Also, I originally bought the sticker (with accompanying explanatory handout to follow) at this old hippy junk store that was nearing the end of its 40 year run. I think its a Starbucks now.

Here's the accompanying handout. I apologize for not posting this earlier, as it could have cleared up a lot of confusion.

Why would we go with a design that almost no one has ever seen before?

The Gadsden flag maybe. Bennington flag maybe. Betsy Ross flag could be.

But not this stuff.
We can agree that this "design" is garbage. Looks like something from an art project in Meth Class.
