Declare Independence

[Robert Denham]

Granted, one of the strangest songs I've heard from Bjork, but the message is clear.

Think of all the peoples who no longer speak their native language, or fly their native flag.

I think it would be interesting to create a new Elven flag.

My family use to bring out the elven flag, and the Queen use to come visit it once a year, but for some reason no longer does it. Sure the flag looked old and tattered, and probably a new one should of been made, perhaps even a 'cleaner' showing of it would of been nice.

That all said, it has not seen the light of day for some time. It is not a flag that looks like the unison type of flag, it has symbols all over it in scattered areas. It's not your typical red white and blue flag. It was basicly on cheese cloth with things hand sown onto it.

But I do think the idea of creating a new flag is a good idea.

Just a thought.

Interesting video! I know it's a shame when countries lose their culture, language and such...'

In Ireland for example, what is it? Only about 50,000 people still speak Gaelic. That's a shame! I feel when we lose a language, we can also lose meanings, esoteric information, and works that held value in THAT particular language, that might not have had an equivalent meaning close to English or other native languages. Some things seem like they'd be more powerful in these more ancient languages. We need to hold onto Gaelic. It's a very intriguing language for me. I don't know but a few words, but wouldn't mind learning it fluently.
