It is true, patriotism has gone rather too far in America. (Look at that, we won't even admit that there are 35 other nations that could be represented by that term, and it would be like france calling itself Eurasia) USA, then.

But at the moment, we are managing to lean both towards fascism and communism. Imagine that! No wonder Dem and GOP hate each other.

Sorry- OT. What I'm trying to say is that it's okay ot be proud of your nations accomplisments (First modern democracy, man on the moon, highest GDP and effective ruler of the world :? )So maybe patriotism in Europe is a bit low, but it is definitely better than what we have in america.

I was most definitely talking about the American adulation of their flag, that sort of rampant patriotism always strikes more mature nations as somewhat embarassing to see in others. There is a vast difference between respect for one's flag and draping yourself in its colours and marching up and down main street trying to sell toothpaste, as it were. As Johnson said, "patriotism is the last refuse of a scoundrel".

Infinity of equality, it was meant to mean, although the fact that the triangle points upwards is very symbolic (or at least it could be)

That's interesting. I'm reading this in a room with two american flags hanging down and the union flag hung on the wall.

Something to do with looking towards the future?

I think the whole flag issue is a bit trivial, personally.

In order to contradict that ( ) I would suggest an equilateral triangle and an infinite sign. Something like this:



An equilateral triangle for equality, an infinity sign for infinity. One interpretation is infinity of equality.

Green for life, blue for the ocean "from whence we came"

Very contradictory, but I love adding suggestions to things like this.
