California Republic Japanese Style with a Tanuki 日本をテーマにしたカリフォルニア州旗

The California State flag is one of the most fun and adaptable flags in the US.  Here a Japanese theme has been created.  Instead of the bear a tanuki has been added.  Tanuki are in Japan, and are sometimes called raccoon dogs.  But they are not dogs nor raccoons.  They something of their own kind of species, like fox is neither a dog yet has some cat like traits.  To clarify, Racoon Dogs can not mate with dogs, cats, wolves, or raccoons.

Most people will recognize them from Super Mario Bros 3 as the Tanuki suit that allows Mario to fly, but these creatures do not fly.  However, Japanese legends have that they can shape shift.

Flags of the Genetically Power Hungary Madmen—Once Upon a Time...Life

The idea of genetically altered power hungry tyrants is a classic staple of science fiction.  In the landmark animated series Once Upon a Time...Life, this concept makes an appearance along with flags.  Don't let that simple cartoon format fool you, this show was made with deepest body of knowledge.  It was a highly intelligent and informative.  

Because I know more science, I am good
The flags of the genetically altered power hungry tyrants illustrate flag symmetry.  In this case, circles and triangles are juxtaposed.  Just look above to see it in action.  See if you can use your pre-scientific (or intuitive) mind to predict what the follows text will be...

The flag on the left features a downward black triangle within a circle, but the flag on the right features conjugate ...a circle within an upward triangle.  Although the circles are different colours, the shape of harmony is obvious. 

The initial flag influenced the design of the other. There is something in the mind that has distaste for a direct copy to some extent, which explains why the two discs are of different colours, yellow and orange.   However, both fields are white, and the 'water' flag has two blue stripes while the 'fire' triangle has one solid thick green horizontal stripe.

Because I'm Good at Football, I am Good

These flags are used by the two antagonists of the animated series.  The downward triangle is represents the muscle head-jock jerk, while with upward triangle represents the evil-nerdy genus. There are good jocks and evil jocks, just as there are good nerds and evil nerds.  Being a nerd does not vaccinate one from evil, nor does being an athlete make a person inherently an individual deserving of respect and honor.  The temptations of power and ego can easily tempt the scientist and athlete, which can transform sports and academia into a hellish and ugliest form of human expression.
