Manifest Destiny on a Huge Scale
There is an American flag that I have seen where the 50 stars are replaced with a spiral galaxy: sort of Manifest Destiny for the Milky Way, not just the North American continent. (Or in Eldridge Cleaver's patriotic post-Marxist vision, all of the Western Hemisphere.) I can't find it. For the Manifest Destiny section of American history next semester, I think it would make a great gag.

ReplyDeleteI would love to see a futuristic space movie where the humans who land on the new planet and claim it for "life, individual liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are photographed a la Neil Armstrong saluting that flag...
ReplyDeleteThe resulting head-exploding, spittle-flecking, and general horror-shrieking at the NYT and Wapo would be delightful.
When we move the capital to Trantor...
