Who knew?In my totally biased opinion...Texas has the best state flag. Simple, clean, tells a story with the Lone Star, and it immediately recognized throughout the world.
But, alas, I fear this will become our flag some day.

Better still, perhaps we can get rid of a state that we don't want anymore. Ideas anyone? The state with the worst flag maybe? No. The state that is the biggest drag on the US economy. Were it up to me I might join two current states into a new single state - Arkansouri for example. Where did I leave that Costco size roll of duct tape?
We could add Guam as a state... It's nice there. I personally liked it better than Puerto Rico.

Well New Hampshire has a movement to secede.
There is little backing but I would like for Nevada to secede. The federal government holds over eighty percent of the land here so they think that they rule the state. Not OK.

Just kidding.
I totally hear you regarding the feds strangle hold on Nv. But you could always look at the bright side. The open space East of the overload for San Francisco and LA (Reno/Carson) might just dodge overdevelopment, Most all of the rest of the West seems to be getting hit pretty hard.
Man, the Muledeer hurd is really gonna suffer (even more than it already is) with all of the foothill developement along the Carson and Washoe Valleys. Major migration routes etc. Traffic is beginning to really suck too. I guess it's bound to happen with the quest for the almighty dollar. Don't get me wrong, big federal government is not a pallitable thing for me, just looking at the brighter side.
Soon those ranchers who are fighting the feds for their rights will be selling out to developers a little at a time until it's gone. Sad to see it change so fast from the good old days.
Back on topic, I do like the Nevada State Flag though. "Battle Born"

Actually, there has been a recent to-do on account of high schools banning t-shirts with certain sexual or violent images. Then someone in the school board meeting pointed out the flag standing behind the board and asked if that would also be banned in our schools, since it does have (a) a bare breasted woman (ooohh scary, kids!) and (b) a sword and a saying that basically is "try and tell me what to do and I'll kill you!" The t-shirt issue was dropped.
