Mason-Dixon Line Flag at the Atlantic Ocean: Long Beach Island, New Jersey

The Mason-Dixon line flag can be described as the Crossed Cantons Flag.  Because elements of the Confederate and Union cantons unite.  In essence, it represents a line of latitude of 39º 43' second North which is based upon the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania.

If you fully extend this line of latitude, it cuts through New Jersey.  Specifically it touches the Atlantic Ocean in Ocean County, Long Beach Island Township.  On the sub-township leve,l by providence, the community of Loveladies is the host, which luckily is a public beach.  Depending on the minutia of where you wanna draw your line, the northern beach community of Harvey Cedars just barely touches this sacred line of latitude.  Why is Loveladies providential?  Because this flag was consecrated and cast in crucible of love to heal the wounds of the North and South with the light of hope.  No doubt you'll fine lovely ladies just north and south of this cultural border.

Indeed there is something oddly Southern about Jersey, Clint Black was just born just a little north shy of the Mason-Dixon line.  

Education & Hope is Our Weapon

Tygra Tamil Flag - from Thundercats

Tygra was the head warrior of the Thundercats.  His essence was tied to that of the Tiger making him a Tiger-man.  Eventually he had cubs with Cheetara. In the fun Tamil Tygra flag he has taken up for Tamil as the most power warrior.

The Tamil Tiger flag is something of a rebel flag like the flag of the Confederacy.  Although their armies surrendered, their spirit lives on in their people.





 

Garfield Tamil Tiger Flag

Yeah, Garfield is not a tiger, in fact he is not real, he is imaginary.  Nonetheless Garfield had colours and stripes like a tiger, thus he qualifies for fun Garfield Tamil Tiger flag.

If you didn't know the Tamil flag represents a minority faction in Sri Lanka who tried to break away.  Years of warfare like Palestine pitted Hindus versus Buddhists, mostly.  Over all peace has been established and the Tamils are a distinct Hindu and beautiful minority in Sri Lanka.

Hobbes Tamil Tiger Flag from Calvin & Hobbes

The Hobbes Tamil flag is fun flag to bring awareness to this small community in the Ocean of India, or rather in the Ocean of Mystics.  Here the imaginary tiger Hobbes from Calvin & Hobbes makes a cameo in Sri Lanka. He is meant as friendly gesture.

The regular Tamil flag has an powerful tiger in attack pose, but Hobbes here calms it down a notch.  Even though 33 bullets and two guns are on the flag, somehow Hobbes puts the soul at ease.
 Hobbes was a magic Tiger that came to life in the imagination of Calvin, his ever so charming side kick.

 You can see the standard version of the Tamil flag with a powerful tiger ready to attack!

Tigger Tamil Flag

Here Tigger gives the Tiger of Tamil a break, so some happy vibes can be made!  If you didn't know the Tamil flag represents Tamils mostly on Sri Lanka.  They recently lost their war for independence.  It will take time for those scars to heal, on both sides.  But in the mean time, here is hoping a grain of joy comes their way.  It was a war that pitted Hindus versus Buddhists, sort of...don't wanna explain, because some people will no doubt take it the wrong way. Bottom line is, some crazy soul in America cares, and hopes the Tamils do well in the future.

Note that Tigger does not have any sharp teeth nor claws.  Although the Tamil flag conveys power with a ring yellow bullets and two guns.  Tigger somehow ameliorates the aggressive tone.

Tony the Tiger Tamil Happiness Flag

The story of war is an ancient song, but from 10,001 years from now, who will remember the sacrifice of the Tamils?  Perhaps in 10,000 lifetimes from now a soul will be born to see that joy of this flag of a lost nation upon the Ocean of Mystics, the Indian Ocean.

Perhaps someday in the future when the wounds of war heal, will the people of Sri Lanka see that love trumps. 

Here Tony the Tiger from Kellogg's, brings a warm smile to a rather 2nd Amendment oriented type of flag that has ring of yellow bullets with two rifles.  But notice that Tony the Tiger does not have claws.

Mason-Dixon Line Flag at Fort Delaware, Pea Patch Island

The Mason-Dixon line was flown at Fort Delaware in the middle of Delaware river for a few minutes in honor of those that fell and suffered during the US Civil War.  Fort Delaware was a POW camp where many captured Confederate soldiers ended up after the battle of Gettysburg.

After it was flown, a small explanation to the staff was given about is meaning as a direct line of latitude at 39º 43', in decimal form is about 39.71666º.  It does not follow the slave soil vs free soil boundary, rather the North-South Calvert-Penn flag does that, which you can see here.  Rather is cuts across the US from New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania/Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California.  It also represents persons who have ancestors who fought on both sides of the War Between the States. 

Not only that this flag is meat for all Americans and anyone tied to tragedy and hope of the US Civil War, this war cut its deepest scars into the heart of America be it black, white, or brown.
