Does the American flag remind anyone else of kitsch or camp, or some variation of it? Most flags I have seen have two or three basic colors and a simple design. The US flag looks like a five year old designed it.
The stripes represent the first thirteen states, while the stars represent the current 50 states, meaning that when Betsy Ross, who likely never should have been allowed near a sewing kit, designed it, the 13 stripes represented the 13 states whilte the 13 stars represented the 13 states.
Seeing the Betsy Ross flag makes me realize that American culture was doomed from the start.
