Who thinks the Californian flag is a good symbol of America? Who thinks the Russian flag is a good symbol of togetherness? |

Do you know anything about the history of these flags? The Bear Republic was created in 1846 as History recalls. William B. Idle was the 1st and only President of the Republic as His term lasted only 25 days. The Flag itself is here. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Demographics of international communities change very quick these days. |

I will try to pave the way for a "Californian flag" thread back to its roots! The best way is knowing what the word---Demographics---means. I would suggest, the biggest contribution from this source you are talking about is the arrival of all those gold seekers (forty-niners, so called) and the gold rush, which began in 1848. Interesting point of view.Economy makes people be quite active... Cheers! |

It would be interesting to use the naturism of the Californian flag to promote magnetic cars which will be very good for the community. |

The Californian flag would be a good flag for promoting animals rights. |

The Californian flag would be a good flag for promoting animals rights. I find it is a lovely flag design. Much better than the typical three horizontal stripes in three different colors. It is quite common to see very similar flags, sometimes hard to say which country/land they stand for: For example, the French, the Netherlands, Russian Federation, Luxembourg... Can you imagine to put the bear upside down and just change the color of his fur, for let´s say, the Nevada State, Oregon or whatever the land you pick up? But I guess, the flags are/must be just an easy to distinguish instrument, easy to remember and to reproduce/edit. I think the people who created the californian flag did not think about environmental/ecological issues. I would say, they chose it because the bear was very present before and during the european colonization period, a well of wealthyness, a resource. Days have changed and nobody hunts/chases bears for a dinner, nor for making clothes or shoes. I just hope it does not become a symbol of another extinct species... Cheers! |

That´s right...! The famous russian bear is the so called--->Ñурыù üõôòõôь (brown bear) or in Latin: Ursus arctos Linnaeus. The one we see here down below is a young female from the Kamchatka region, in the far East of Russia. |

The females are the worst as If they think they or their cubs are in danger they will fight to th death from what I've read. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |
