The Delaware River & Bay Authority Flag - 1962

In 1962 the state governments of New Jersey and Delaware had a baby.  This baby was the Delaware River & Bay Authority by compact between the states of Delaware & New Jersey.  Consequently a union flag of Delaware and New Jersey was one of the results.  This flag has the seals of both state but slightly modified.  New Jersey's shield is white instead of being blue.  The flag is a seal within a seal.  Or rather there are two seals that make up the larger seal.  Outside the seals of Delaware and New Jersey are the two key points of connection between these two states.  Above the the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Below the seals is the Cape May-Lewis Ferry.

New Jersey also has hybrid flags with Pennsylvania and New York.  It makes so much sense for New Jersey to be connected to Delaware as well, since their settlement mother tongues were Swedish, Finnish, and Dutch.  Only later did these two states learn English a bit later in their colonial life.

  

Lanka Lion Flag for Sri Lanka

Since there is a Sri Tamil flag it only makes sense to have Sri Lanka version of the Tiger Tamil flag.  But this flag is known as the Lanka Lion flag.  Its purpose is to put the foot on the other hand.  At least it is educational, to make people think of the tragedy that befell on the of the most beautiful people upon the most beautiful islands of Earth.

Both Tamils and Lankas are wonderful people of amazing wisdom and beauty who are just coming out of a brutal civil war, that ended ten years ago.  Many civilians have suffered, and the despair is great.  But in the darkest night of the Isle of Tears is a ray of hope, for in the distant future, Sri Lanka will be an isle of love and joy for all humanity to appreciate.

Sri Lanka Tamil Flag - The Sri Tamil Flag

Sri Tamil Flag 

Here is a hybrid Tamil-Sri Lanka flag.  It is also a flag for Sri Lanka-Tamil mixes who are have a Hindu and Buddhist ancestors.   If you ever see a report about this war, rarely will the press give details of the cultural orientiaions of the two sides.  The majority is a Buddhist India-like people group, while the Tamils are a Hindu-India peoples.  They have different languages and scripts, but both have ancient connections to India.

After 20 years of war, a fierce Warrior Buddhist leader in Sri Lanka decided unleash the full might of the Sri Lanka Buddhist Lions upon the Hindu Tamil Tigers.  Subsequently, the war finally ended 10 years ago, but the scars still run deep on both sides.

No doubt in the near future this isle will be known as paradise.  Tourists will flock here, and the beachfront property will bring abundance and joy to all.  They will look back at this war as a memory of misunderstanding, yet a war of Wisdom.  The challenge of the Hindu-Buddheic tradition will be immortalized on the isle shaped like a tear drop.

On thos flag the Tamil Tiger holds a different kind of sword known as the Aruval which has a billhook end, which is also very common in Southern India. The Tiger is jumping as well as it was in ancient Chola Royal flags.

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.

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!
