Hello Zilver Murphen from Sweden ....nice name. I wonder who it is....anyway. I think the US flag is a bit Martial, I always felt a little uncomfortable with it, and to boot many of the Government buildings have the eagle perched on top of it, a little military, but, we've had so many close calls over the years, Sweden is somehow able to stay away from the frey, how? Maybe because most of your ancestors had the good sence to stay in Sweden, while the nuts from England sailed to the New World and became Calvinists. But what can I say, unless it's totally provocative which is....
Let's all go home, let's all go back to Europe and abandon this collapsing empire.....sail away to another shore.....etc.

Although on reflection a complete rainbow, whilst potentially pleasing the gay community, might look a little frivolous.
Red's over-rated as a colour. I say swap the red for some yellow, and add green. Pretty!
Ooh, and some sparkly spangly bits! A sequinned flag! I was greatly disappointed as a youngster to find that when americans sing "the star spangled banner" it's about the normal us flag - I thought it was about one with lovely sparkly sequins on it, all twinkly!

I am such a girly girl...
The union flag is ok... I'm just used to seeing it so it would be odd if it changed. It doesnt have any part of it representing Wales though. I'm not sold on the sequins I'm afriad, cant see blokes wearing union jack boxers with sequins on...
