The Land O Lakes strategy again...
Ken, you win the thread! :)
why do they need to make a new flag? spend Citizen money, waste time that could be used for important things, etc, just to feel better for a moment?
I might suggest 3 or 4 off-shore wind turbines with blades made from Bald Eagle feathers.
Because—gasp—it has a Native American on it:
