DO YOU SUPPORT DC STATEHOOD

[Harlequin]

The Welsh dragon doesn't need to be on the flag, we just need some way of incorporating the design of the Welsh flag into the design of the Union flag. Also we could even totally redesign the flag, or just change it so that one of the crosses is the same colour as the dragon, or even adding some white, red and green!

Not that one :( Too cartoony.

When I was in primary school, every now and then we'd have to draw the Union Jack and it'd always look weird because I never mastered straight lines, but then I thought how much worse the Welsh kids have it, with the big complicated dragon they'd have to do. Japanese kids have it so much easier.

Try counting out fifty damn stars >:/

And making sure those 13 stripes are the right size AND correctly colored.

For sure, remember the red is first.

Oh, God, don't even go there. THAT DRAGON WAS THE BANE OF MY CHILDHOOD. Stupid dragon.

I say no because I am Obsessive Compulsive. 50 is a nice round number, can't we all just keep it at that?

Or we could use Texas's cool power in which it reserved the right to become four separate states if it so wanted. That would make an even 9x6 triangle.

EDIT: not to mention preserve the repub/dem balance. The only downside I see is 108 senators.

how would adding adding three/four states that are guaranteed to go Republican balance adding one that is guaranteed to go Democrat?

Well, Texas was already republican. So assuming the southern quarter would go democrat, (It probably would), that's one more dem state, two more republican states, and then DC, so another dem state.

Austin is pretty liberal in comparison to the rest of Texas; I think it's a fairly safe bet it would vote Democrat.

That's still three Republican sates and only two Democratic states.

What about Puerto Rico?

but technically one of the republican states is discounted since Texas is already republican- you're only adding two republican and one democrat to the union by splitting it up.
